Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area

What decided it

The scale, form and detailing of the box dormers, combined with their lack of set-backs from existing elevations, made them overly dominant and inappropriate additions that caused permanent harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, which could not be outweighed by the housing benefits claimed.
