Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
What decided it
The existing context of flat-roofed dormers in the immediate vicinity, combined with the varied character of the area and the subservient design of the proposed dormer, meant that the conflict with the Design Guide was not sufficiently significant to justify refusal.
The conflict with the Design Guide was outweighed by the proposed design, local circumstances and context, allowing the appeal to be allowed.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS41 of the Bournemouth Local Plan Core Strategy (2012)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
