Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed dormer window would be excessively large and prominent, creating a top-heavy appearance that would be incongruous with the uniformity of neighbouring roofscapes and would be particularly visible from the adjacent nature reserve, thereby causing harm to character and appearance contrary to the development plan.
