Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed rear loft dormer conversion and single storey outrigger and infill extension on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The rear dormer's use of non-established materials and arched openings would create an incongruous and overly prominent addition to the terrace's roofscape, whereas the single storey extension's discrete location and subordinate design would respect the character of the area.
