Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and area in general

What decided it

The proposed rear dormer would be a substantial and dominant addition disproportionate to the built form of the existing property and would harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and area in general.
