Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The proportionality, setback and subservience of the dormers in Appeal B meant they would preserve the original roof shape's legibility and maintain the terrace's architectural consistency, whereas the large, full-width rear dormer in Appeal A would unacceptably erode the roof's originality and uniformity.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D1Policy D2Policy D8
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
