Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed dormer would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by appearing as an overly large, incongruous and visually dominant addition that would substantially erode the original roof shape and appear as an isolated intrusive feature in the rear roofscape.
