Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area

The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the disproportionate scale and top-heavy dormer design, combined with the direct overlooking impact on neighbouring living conditions, outweighed the modest benefits of the scheme.
