Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Uppermill Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed dormer would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Uppermill Conservation Area due to its scale, fenestration, materials, and visibility, and the public benefits would not outweigh the harm to the designated heritage asset.
