Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and area

What decided it

The proposed dormer would be visually harmful to the host building and area through its disproportionate size, box-like appearance and incongruous impact on the uniform roofscape, conflicting with development plan policies and the Design SPD.
