Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of adjoining occupants
What decided it
The visual harm caused by the scale, form and design of the roof alterations and rear dormer, which are discordant and out of proportion within an area of consistent two-storey detached houses with hipped roofs, outweighs any other considerations and renders the development unacceptable in planning terms.
