Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and the area
What decided it
The totality of the roof alterations, particularly the combination of dormer extensions to both sides and rear with the creation of a crown roof, resulted in a confused and poorly designed dwelling that had a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the property and the area, contrary to Policies CS5 and DM01 and the Council's Residential Design Guidance.
