Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, its surroundings on Duck End and the setting of the neighbouring listed buildings
- Whether the proposed development would have a detrimental impact on the living conditions of present and future occupants in neighbouring properties in 3, 5 and 7 Duck End and North End in terms of overlooking and light levels
What decided it
The scale, form and massing of the rear box dormer, which dominates the roof slope and is clearly visible from the public domain in close juxtaposition to the listed buildings, creates unacceptable harm to character and appearance contrary to Policy HQ/1 and the Framework.
Framework references: 130, 199, 200, 202, 124
