Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, which includes the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
- The living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties on Townsfield, with specific regard to parking provision and the ease of turning/manoeuvring vehicles
What decided it
The proposed rear dormer would be substantially oversized and overly dominant with a flat roof design at odds with the traditional dual pitch roof of the cottage, failing to conserve or enhance the character and scenic beauty of the Arnside and Silverdale AONB, which receives great weight in planning decisions.
