Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed side dormers on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, including the Petts Wood Area of Special Residential Character (ASRC)
What decided it
The proposed side dormers would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the Petts Wood ASRC by appearing as an unduly prominent, top-heavy feature that would dominate the side roof slopes and erode the area's sense of spaciousness, contrary to Policies 6, 37 and 44 of the London Borough of Bromley Local Plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy 6, Policy 37, Policy 44, Policy D4
