Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the architectural integrity of the host property, the street scene, the setting of locally listed buildings and whether the proposal would serve to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Pembroke and Princes Conservation Area

What decided it

The side dormer would cause significant harm to the architectural integrity of the host property and the character of the conservation area by appearing as a large, bulky structure that would dominate the roof form and unbalance the semi-detached pair, whereas the rear dormer would be a well-mannered vernacular addition that would preserve the conservation area's character.
