Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the local area
What decided it
The proposed dormers, being significantly larger than the fallback certificate of lawfulness scheme and appearing as overly large bulky box-like additions, would materially harm the character and appearance of the host building and local area, contrary to development plan policies requiring high design standards and sympathetic local character.
Plan policies cited: Policy D4 of The London Plan, Policy CS 8 of Islington's Core Strategy, Policy CS 9 of Islington's Core Strategy, Policy DM2.1 of Islington's Local Plan: Development Management Policies
