Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extensions on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
What decided it
The flat-roofed dormer extension would be highly visible from the public realm due to the property's larger side gap, making it an incongruous and uncharacteristic feature that fails to respect the predominant pitched roof form and character of the street.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D3 of The London Plan 2021Policy CS8 of the Core Strategy (2012)Policy DM10 of the Core Strategy (2012)
