Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed dormer is excessive in scale and overly dominant within the roofscape, resulting in significant harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area that cannot be outweighed by personal circumstances or refurbishment benefits.
