Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and wider area

What decided it

The proposed dormer would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host property and wider area by dominating the roof elevation and jarring with the street scene, conflicting with local plan policies requiring respect for local character.

Plan policies cited: Policy ENV6 of the Cheshire West and Chester Local Plan Part One: Strategic Policies, Policy DM3 of the Cheshire West and Chester Local Plan Part Two: Land Allocations and Detailed Policies
