Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the increased roof height and rear dormers on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed increase in ridge height and rear dormers would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the area by disrupting the well-designed cohesive appearance of Simons Walk and failing to respond to local context, contrary to Policy EE1.

Plan policies cited: Policy EE1 of the Runnymede 2030 Local Plan
