Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed dormer would be the only front dormer on its terrace and would form a visually dominant and discordant feature that substantially disrupts the roofscape's rhythm and uniformity, causing significant harm to character and appearance that is not outweighed by the limited benefits of additional floorspace.
The limited benefits of additional floorspace do not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance.
