Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property

What decided it

The overly large flat-roofed dormers and raised ridge would be over-dominant, poorly designed features that would significantly harm the character and appearance of the modest single-storey property and conflict with Policy EN1 and the Council's design guidance.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy EN1 of the Spelthorne Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document (2009)
