Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- whether the development would fail to provide a good standard of amenity space for existing and future occupiers
What decided it
The proposed dormers would be subordinate and proportional to the host property, located on the rear elevation with limited public visibility, and would not result in harm to the character and appearance of the host property or surrounding area, thus according with the relevant design policies and guidance.
