Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed dormer extension on the style and character of the host building and the wider townscape, particularly with reference to the Leigh Cliff Conservation Area
- The adequacy of the second-floor bedroom with regard to the living conditions of future occupiers taking account of the lack of a window serving the room
What decided it
The revised plan showing a window to the second-floor bedroom overcame the living conditions concern, and the dormer's incidental scale and position preserved the conservation area character.
