Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the side dormers on the character and appearance and neighbour amenity of the host dwelling and surrounding area
- The effect of the frontage boundary walls, pillars, gates and fence panels on the character and appearance of the area, and on highway safety
What decided it
The frontage boundary treatment's excessive height and harsh appearance would significantly harm the character of the streetscene and obstruct visibility on a classified highway, contrary to local and London Plan policies, whereas the dormers and rear building would integrate appropriately without unacceptable harm.
