Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property, the terrace in which it sits, and the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal would appear as an incongruous and dominant flat-roofed dormer that projects notably above the ridge of the outrigger, causing significant harm to the character and appearance of the host property and terrace that cannot be justified by the need for additional family accommodation.
