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.
Framework references: 12
