Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effect on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- Effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of no. 207 Southend Arterial Road in respect of loss of outlook and overbearing impacts
What decided it
The scale and design of the proposed rear dormer causes unacceptable harm to character and appearance, and the close siting of the pitched roof gable to a neighbouring habitable room window causes significant loss of outlook and overbearing impacts.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 7 of the Havering Local Plan (adopted 2021)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
