Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- Living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The dormer's bulky, unduly dominant and unsympathetic form causes unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, conflicting with development plan policies, and this harm is not outweighed by any other material considerations.
