Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property, the terrace it is part of, and the area, with particular regard to the design and scale of the new dormer roof extension and the balustrading immediately in front of it

What decided it

The proposed dormer extension and balustrading, whilst bolder than originally approved, remain subordinate in scale and design, harmonising with the varied roofscape and not harmfully altering the character and appearance of the terrace or area when viewed from the public towpath.
