Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the architectural integrity of the host property, the terrace of which it is part and thereby whether the proposal would serve to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hurstpierpoint Conservation Area
What decided it
The design, scale, massing and proportions of the rear dormers would represent unduly dominant and incongruous additions causing significant harm to the architectural integrity and character of the existing dwelling and conservation area, which could not be justified by the limited economic benefits.
