Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area

What decided it

The rear location of the dormer within a corner of the estate meant it would have minimal visibility from the streetscene and majority of the estate, making it acceptable despite its size and some conflict with design guidance.
