Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed rear dormer upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed rear dormer would fill most of the rear roof plane appearing as a third storey to the house rather than as a subservient addition to the roof, thereby harming the character and appearance of the host property and conflicting with Policy CS1, Policy PSP38 and the SPD.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy CS1 of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan Core Strategy (2013)Policy PSP38 of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan: Policies, Sites and Places Plan (2017)
