Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of varying the planning condition on the character and appearance of the approved building and the area
- The effect of varying the planning condition on the living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to outdoor space
- The effect of varying the planning condition on the living conditions of the occupants of No.18 Branksome Way, with particular regard to daylight
What decided it
The proposed rear dormers would dominate the host roof and appear as unsympathetic additions causing unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the building and area, which was not outweighed by any benefits.
The harms to character and appearance caused by the proposed dormers, attributed significant weight, were not outweighed by any benefits, resulting in dismissal of the appeal.
