Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed rear dormer window upon the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding locality.

What decided it

The proposed rear dormer window would achieve symmetry with the existing dormer on the matching semi-detached dwelling and would represent a more appropriate and subservient design response compared to other poor quality extensions in the locality, thereby preserving character and appearance.
