Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the front dormer on the character and appearance of the existing property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed front dormer would dominate the roof slope and introduce an alien, incongruous feature into the group of matching houses, causing unacceptable harm to character and appearance that would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits.

- Development plan policies
- Policy 10 of the Greater Nottingham, Broxtowe Borough, Gedling Borough, Nottingham City, Aligned Core Strategies Part 1 Local PlanPolicy 17 of the Broxtowe Borough Council Part 2 Local Plan, 2018-2028
