Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the dormer on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
the effect of the dormer on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupier at 12 Wilton Avenue, with regard to any overbearing impact

What decided it

The proposed dormer would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, and would create an overbearing impact on neighbouring living conditions, conflicting with development plan policies and NPPF guidance on design and amenity.

Framework references: 131, 135

Plan policies cited: Policy SIE-1 of the Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council Core Strategy Development Plan Document (2011), saved Policy CDH1.8 of the Stockport Unitary Development Plan Review (2006)

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
