Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the dormers comply with the development plan and national planning policy, particularly in relation to design and character and appearance
Whether, if the appeal fails on ground (a), parts of the development that comply with the approved planning permission should be allowed to remain under ground (f)

What decided it

The wrap-around dormers as constructed constitute very poor design that fails to reflect local design policies and government guidance, and therefore the enforcement notice should be upheld, though varied to allow implementation of the originally approved scheme.
