Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development has resulted in the unacceptable loss of a family dwelling
- whether the development has provided adequate living conditions for the occupants with particular regard to light and outlook to bedroom 5 and to communal space
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby residential properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the dormer extension on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
What decided it
The unacceptable loss of a family dwelling in an area characterised by family homes, combined with inadequate living conditions for occupants and harm to character and appearance, could not be outweighed by the absence of harm to neighbouring amenity.
