Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and its surroundings
- neighbouring residents' living conditions with specific reference to privacy and visual impact
What decided it
The dormer sits acceptably in its surroundings without harming character and appearance, and with appropriate conditions to maintain neighbours' privacy, does not result in material loss of privacy or unacceptable visual impact.
