Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area

What decided it

The dormer would be unduly dominant in relation to the form and scale of the roof and would be an unsympathetic and harmful addition to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area.

The identified harm to character and appearance outweighed the appellant's need to accommodate office space within the existing property, with no material considerations outweighing the harm and development plan conflict.
