Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Brandling Village Conservation Area

What decided it

The dormers harm the character and appearance of the conservation area by disrupting the vertical emphasis and orderly arrangement of the Victorian townhouses, and no public benefits justify this harm.

The less than substantial harm to the conservation area was weighed against the private benefit of additional living space, which does not count as a public benefit; the harm outweighed the identified benefits.
