Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide a satisfactory level of natural light to the second floor bedrooms for occupiers
  • The effect of the proposed front dormers on the character and appearance of the dwelling and that of the wider streetscene

What decided it

The proposed development fails to satisfy two key policy requirements: inadequate natural light to second floor bedrooms contrary to RDG5, and poor dormer design contrary to RDG7, either of which alone would justify dismissal.

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
