Construction of an attic conversion to include alterations to existing roof profile from hipped to gable end; dormer roof to rear and rooflight to the front of existing roof plane; new obscured window to side elevation, and construction of single storey extension to the rear of existing house. Also to include amendments to existing single storey garage, and all associated site works.

Core Planning Reasoning

The Inspector recommended a partial grant of the appeal under Section 139, concluding that while the roof and dormer alterations (conditions 3a, 3b, 3c) were acceptable and would not injure visual amenities, the proposed rear extension (condition 3d) required reduction in depth to prevent significant overbearing and overshadowing of the adjacent property.

  • The proposed alteration from a hipped roof to a gable end and the inclusion of a rear dormer are consistent with the pattern of development in the area and will not adversely impact residential or visual amenities.

  • Condition 3(d) must be retained as the proposed 9.65m deep rear extension would cause significant overshadowing and an overbearing impact on the neighboring property at No. 61.
