Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the rear dormer on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The dormer, although wider than SPD guidance recommends, is not highly visible from the street or residential properties and does not cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, particularly given that the Council had previously accepted a large dormer on the same building in 2021.
