Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the rear dormer extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the locality
- The effects of the proposed rear balcony on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and on the amenities of the existing and future occupiers of the dwelling, with particular reference to the potential for a loss of light and outlook
What decided it
The rear dormer extension and rear balcony fail to achieve good design as required by the Framework and conflict with development plan policies on character, appearance and residential amenity, with the harms not being outweighed by other considerations.
Plan policies cited: CS Policy 3 of the Leicester City Core Strategy 2014, Policy PS10 of the City of Leicester Local Plan 2006
