Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The proposal's ungainly roof form, prominent dormer occupying the vast majority of the rear slope, and incongruous appearance in a street characterised by shallow roof forms and absence of dormer additions would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area.
