Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the application is a valid householder application
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal building and the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 23 Gills Hill Lane with particular regard to access to outlook, daylight and sunlight

What decided it

The significant harm caused to the character and appearance of the appeal building and surrounding area through the bulky, incongruous crown roof form outweighed any other considerations.
