Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the streetscene
What decided it
The proposed side dormer and enlarged roof would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the terrace roofscape, which was not outweighed by any identified public benefits.
The unacceptable harm to the roofscape and character of the terrace significantly and demonstrably outweighed any benefits of the scheme, resulting in less than substantial harm to the heritage significance of the Conservation Area with no identified public benefits to justify it.
