Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the rear dormer on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding residential area, taking into account the identified fallback scheme
What decided it
The dormer as built is not subordinate to the roof and adds harmful mass to the character and appearance of the property and terrace, outweighing the modest benefit of additional living space, but a smaller infill alternative would comply with policy and cause no harm.
The modest benefit of increased living space from the dormer as built does not outweigh the identified harm to character and appearance; however, a smaller infill extension would provide a compliant alternative with no harmful effects.
