Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether planning permission should be granted to retain the front dormer extension (ground (a))
  • Whether the period for compliance with the enforcement notice is too short (ground (g))

What decided it

The dormer extension incongruously breaks the uniform roof line of the terrace and represents an unfitting addition that fails to comply with the local plan policy requiring development to complement the streetscape rhythm and roof lines.
