Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on character and appearance

What decided it

The dormer is considerably larger than approved, appearing overly dominant and imposing with inadequate spacing to the ridge and eaves, resulting in harm to character and appearance that conflicts with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh it.
