Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed front dormer on the character and appearance of the existing property and on the street scene

What decided it

The proposed front dormer would be a visually discordant, bulky and incongruous addition that detracts from the character and appearance of both the existing property and the street scene, conflicting with development plan policies and design guidance.

CP9DM35DM36
National Planning Policy Framework
