Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and its surroundings
- Whether the proposed development would have an adverse impact on the present and future living conditions of the neighbouring occupants at No 4 Wyndale Drive and No 249 Lord Lane in terms of overlooking and loss of privacy
What decided it
The proposed dormer would be disproportionately large and more visible from the road due to increased pitch and width, creating an incongruous and unattractive addition that conflicts with the character and appearance requirements of Policies 9 and 20 and NPPF paragraph 130.
Framework references: 130, 124
Plan policies cited: Policy 9 of the Oldham Council Joint Core Strategy and Development Management Policies, Policy 20 of the Oldham Council Joint Core Strategy and Development Management Policies
