Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed roof form with its large flat sections and dormers would appear bulky and incongruous when viewed from Ham Lane, conflicting with Policy CP6 and Policies D1, D2, D3 and D5 which require development to be of high quality design that does not harm local character and distinctiveness.
Framework references: 135, 139
