Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed dormer on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed dormer would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through its top-heavy, unsympathetic design and cluttered roofscape effect when viewed from neighbouring properties, conflicting with Policy QD14 and the NPPF.

The private benefits to the appellant's family were outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the area

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy QD14

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
