Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed change in roof form and increase in height upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling, including the surrounding locality
- The effect of the proposed change in roof form and increase in height upon the living conditions of the neighbouring dwelling at No.46 Barnfordhill Close, with particular regard to outlook and sense of enclosure
What decided it
The proposed increase in roof height to 4.1 metres would cause significant detriment to both the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the living conditions of the neighbouring property through increased sense of enclosure and loss of outlook.
