Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the side dormer window on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, including whether it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the St Stephen's Conservation Area and its effect on the significance of the designated heritage asset

What decided it

The constructed side dormer's disproportionate scale, design and projection from the roof resulted in unsympathetic and visually obtrusive development that harmed the Conservation Area's character and the heritage asset's significance, with private benefits insufficient to outweigh this less than substantial harm.
