Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposals upon character and appearance of the host dwelling and the amenity of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal fails to be subordinate to the host dwelling and does not respect its character and appearance, particularly through the use of a flat roof above eave height combined with extensive glazing and the cumulative effect of the loft conversion and dormer, contrary to Local Plan Policy H15 and Core Strategy Policy CS20.
