Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appellant has proved on the balance of probability that the front dormer extension was substantially completed more than four years before the date of issue of the enforcement notice, so as to be immune from enforcement
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building
- Whether the development conserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Armley Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area caused by the prominent, oversized dormer extension with incongruous modern materials outweighs the modest private benefits of additional accommodation.
