Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the appeal building and surrounding area

What decided it

The retention of the large, prominent front dormer window would create an unbalancing and incongruous development that fails to relate well to the appeal building and would appear as an alien and overly prominent feature in the street scene, contrary to local design policies.
