Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the dormer and rooflights would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Meadway Conservation Area
- The effect of the single storey rear extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of Number 6 The Ridgeway with specific regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The proposed dormer and rooflights would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area that could not be outweighed by limited public benefits, and the rear extension would unacceptably harm the outlook of neighbouring occupiers.
