Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether condition 2 is reasonable and necessary, taking into account the effects of the development on the host building, the character and appearance of the conservation area and on the setting of the nearby listed buildings

What decided it

The rear dormer as built is of inappropriate scale and detailed design, resulting in less than substantial harm to the setting of listed buildings and the appearance of the conservation area, with no public benefits to justify this harm.
