Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area in regards to the proposed dormers and replacement roof
  • the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers in regards to outlook

What decided it

The front and side dormers would be clearly visible from the street and appear bulky and disproportionate to the dwelling's scale, causing significant harm to character and appearance contrary to the development plan, whereas the rear extension, conservatory and porch would be subservient and acceptable.
