Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed dormer's overall scale, form and detailed design would cause it to stand out as an uncharacteristic and alien addition that would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, and this harm outweighs the private benefits to the appellants.
What the Inspector cited
