Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surroundings on Hurn Grove
What decided it
The scale, mass, bulk and design of the rear dormer would be disproportionate to the roof slope and have an unacceptable impact on the established character and appearance of the terrace and surroundings, which cannot be outweighed by the sustainable use objective.
The sustainable and effective use of the dwelling and provision of additional family accommodation would not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the terrace and Hurn Grove.
