What decided it
The rear dormer, by virtue of its considerable size (over 10m width), incongruous form, flat roof conflicting with pitched roof character, and visibility from close-range views at the corner location, would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host building and area.

- Development plan policies
- LP1LP2LP24
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135
