Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed rear dormer roof extension on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed rear dormer's considerable size, lack of subordination to the host property, and failure to remain set back from the side gable would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, contrary to Policies CDH01 and CDH05 of the Barnet Local Plan.
