Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposed front dormer on the front roof slope of the host property, group value of the three terraced houses and the streetscene
- The impact of the proposed rear dormer on the rear roof slopes of the three terraced houses
What decided it
The proposed front dormer's location on top of the existing hipped roof feature would create a visually incongruous and bulky appearance that would unbalance the roofscape and disrupt the uniformity of the terraced row, contrary to design guidance and local plan policy.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CP12DM21
