Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • With respect to the proposed rear extension, the effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of 35 Beach Terrace with reference to light and outlook
  • With respect to the proposed front dormer, the effect on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area

What decided it

The front dormer would substantially disrupt the simple forms of the roofs along the prominent seafront terrace row and would be an incongruous feature in a prominent position with great public visibility, causing significant harm to character and appearance that could not be justified.
