Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and wider street scene

What decided it

The extended dormers would merely reflect the established design and character of the existing dwelling and would be largely screened from public view by neighbouring buildings, resulting in no significant impact on the character or appearance of the street scene.
