Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- whether the impact of the proposed extensions would be appropriate with particular regard to policy DP36 of the New Forest National Park Local Plan
What decided it
The scale, siting and width of the proposed dormers are excessive and visually dominate the roof plane, resulting in significant harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area that outweighs the limited benefit of providing a high-quality bedroom.
The limited benefit of accommodating a high-quality bedroom at first floor level was outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area.
Plan policies cited: Policy DP2, Policy SP17, Policy DP18, Policy DP36
