Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area

What decided it

The extended dormers would substantially alter and disrupt the roof shape and unbalance the symmetry of the paired dwellings, creating an unduly dominant and incongruous feature that harms character and appearance contrary to Policy QE7, whereas the rear extension would be acceptable and largely concealed from public view.

Development plan policies
Policy QE7

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
