Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
What decided it
The excessive height, significant size and bulk of the proposed dormer would create a dominant, top-heavy addition that conflicts with the hipped roof character of the property and surrounding area, and this harm cannot be outweighed by private benefits to the occupiers.
The private benefits of increased living space for the occupiers were outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area.
