Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve the character or appearance of the Headingley Conservation Area

What decided it

The prevalence of dormer windows in the locality, evidenced by an aerial photograph showing close to fifty dormers in the surrounding terrace streets, established a clear precedent that dormers form part of the urban fabric of this part of the conservation area and must be considered accordingly.
