Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property, the semi-detached pair of which it forms part and the street scene

What decided it

The proposed pitched-roof dormers would enhance the character and appearance of the dwelling and semi-detached pair, are consistent with RDG7 and NPPF paragraph 130, and are not out of character given the prevalence of pitched-roof dormers in surrounding streets.
