Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the wider area; including whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Streatham Lodge Estate Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed dormer windows would unacceptably dominate the roof and detract from the character and appearance of the host building and the Streatham Lodge Estate Conservation Area, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset.

Less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset was not outweighed by any public benefits of the proposal
