Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the rear dormer would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Heaton Moor Conservation Area
What decided it
The rear dormer would appear as a dominant feature in the roofscape, detracting from the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, and no public benefits were identified to outweigh this less than substantial harm.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Heaton Moor Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset was not outweighed by any public benefits of the proposal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SIE-1SIE-3HC1.3CDH1.8
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 202
