Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal with particular regard to the dormer windows on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area

What decided it

The dormer windows, although large and not technically compliant with the SPD, are not out of keeping with the character of the area where dormer additions of varying sizes are interspersed throughout, and they do not cause harm to the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area.

Framework references: 54

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policy CS1.B of the Core Strategy (2012), Policy DM1 of the Development Management Policies (2013)
