Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

In respect of the roof works, the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
In respect of the rear extension, whether it results in living conditions acceptable to those living next door

What decided it

The roof dormer as constructed overwhelms the house and its connection to the rear outrigger is awkward and unsympathetic, failing to comply with development plan policy and SPD guidance; the rear extension creates unacceptable overbearing impact and visual intrusion to neighbouring properties by extending to the full width of the plot adjacent to the common boundary.
