Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area
What decided it
The existing variety of ridge heights, dormer styles and extensions along Forest Road, combined with the context of the neighbouring buildings, meant that the proposed roof extension and large rear dormer would be comfortably absorbed within the surrounding built form and would not harm character or appearance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CP2CP7DBE10DM9DM10
