Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties with particular regard to overbearing impact
What decided it
The dormer windows are an intrusive and incongruous addition significantly harmful to the appearance of the host property and the prevailing character of the area, conflicting with development plan policies requiring high standards of design sensitive to setting and locality character.
Plan policies cited: CS.9, CS.20, HBE 8
