Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed first floor extension on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the roof design and external materials
- whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the future occupants of Flat 4 with particular reference to internal headroom
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for cycle parking and bin storage
What decided it
The proposed first floor extension would harm the character and appearance of the area through poor roof design integration, and Flat 4 would fail to provide appropriate living conditions due to insufficient headroom compliance with space standards.
