Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Anglesey Conservation Area

What decided it

The dormer's excessive scale, bulk and design creates a top-heavy appearance that fails to preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and conflicts with design guidance and local plan policies, with no public benefits to outweigh the harm.
