Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed extensions on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and its surroundings

What decided it

The existing complex and miscellaneous character of the rear elevation, with its mix of architectural styles and existing rooflights, means the proposed dormer would not be perceived as harmfully dominant or negatively affect the distinctive architectural aesthetic of the host dwelling.
