Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, and whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Newbiggin-by-the-Sea Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed two-storey rear extension on the living conditions of occupants in No 9 Windsor Road with particular regard to sunlight and outlook from within the property and private amenity space
What decided it
The proposed front and rear dormers would introduce a prominent mass at high level on the roof slopes that would appear unsympathetic within context and unbalance the roofscapes, resulting in less than substantial harm to the conservation area that was not outweighed by public benefits, whereas the two-storey rear extension was severable and acceptable.
