Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the appeal dwelling
What decided it
The bulk, massing and design of the rear dormer extension, with its flat roof and box-like form, creates substantial harm to the character and appearance of the original dwelling and does not accord with policies requiring development to be proportionate and in keeping with the scale and character of the existing dwelling.
Plan policies cited: Policy 28, Policy 33, Policy BILL 2
