Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the roof extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling

What decided it

The harmful effects to the individual property are overcome by the extension's setting within a terrace where similar dormer extensions are prevalent, making the extension not uncharacteristic or incongruous in its locality.

The individual harmful effects on the host dwelling's proportions and appearance were outweighed by the contextual setting of similar changes across the terrace, resulting in no material harm to character and appearance when assessed against the locality.
