Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the barn hipped roof and rear dormers on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The rear dormers' elevated position, scale, design and siting would create unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by appearing as incongruous, top-heavy additions that dominate the traditional barn hipped roof.
