Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The fallback planning permission for a front dormer, combined with the proportionate scale and visual context of the street-scene, meant the appeal dormer caused no harm to character and appearance.
The conflict with the SPD was outweighed by the fallback planning permission and the absence of planning harm to character and appearance.
