Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area
What decided it
The proposed dormer, while evident and dominant, would not be an uncharacteristic addition to the local area given the varied roof profiles and large dormers on neighbouring properties, and a sizeable dormer could be introduced through permitted development rights in any event.
