Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed dormer window and single storey rear chimney would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the host dwelling and Corsham Conservation Area
What decided it
The substantial width and modern box-like form of the proposed dormer window would cause less than substantial but material harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area that could not be outweighed by the private benefits or by public benefits that were severable from the harmful element.
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area caused by the dormer window was not outweighed by the private benefits of additional space or the public benefits of the fenestration and extension improvements, which were severable and could proceed independently
