Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed loft conversion and rear dormer on the amenity of the adjoining occupiers at Nos. 20a and 24 Hood Road and the immediate surrounding properties
The effect of the proposal on sun/daylight, overshadowing and form of development on the amenity of the adjoining occupiers at No.20a Hood Road

What decided it

The proposed development would create an over-dominant and overbearing structure harmful to the amenity of neighbouring occupiers, particularly through loss of daylight, sunlight and outlook at the rear of No.22a.
