Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed dormer would occupy a significant proportion of the front roof scape (more than one third of the roof area) and by virtue of its scale and design would appear as a prominent and visually obtrusive addition that would be harmful to the character of the street scene.
