Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and that of the Cuckoo Estate Conservation Area
What decided it
The hip-to-gable roof alteration and box dormer would harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the conservation area by radically altering the roof profile and introducing a disproportionate addition, conflicting with development plan policies and conservation area guidance, with no public benefits to justify the harm.
