Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, the host property and the semi-detached properties, with particular regard to the scale and size of the proposed dormer extension and the removal of the chimney
What decided it
The rear dormer extension's sympathetic scale, size, design and location, combined with the non-prominent nature of the chimney removal and the acceptable design of the rooflights, ensure the development would not harm the character and appearance of the area or the semi-detached pair.
