Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the dormer in the front roof on the existing dwelling, others nearby and the streetscene

What decided it

The appeal dormer was constructed substantially larger than permitted, dominating rather than remaining subservient to the roof, causing harmful effects to the appearance of the dwelling and streetscene contrary to development plan policies and the Framework.

Plan policies cited: Policy CP1, Policy DM1

Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
