Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the dwelling and its immediate area
What decided it
The modest dimensions and subordinate positioning of the proposed dormer, set back from and dominated by the existing two-storey gabled element, combined with the precedent of a similar dormer on a nearby property, justified approval despite conflict with the Design Guide SPG.

- Development plan policies
- Policy PL1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
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.
