Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The front and rear dormer windows caused substantial harm to character and appearance and were not severable from the internal layout, whereas the single storey rear extension was severable, caused no harm, and complied with the development plan.
For the dormer windows element: the small benefits of additional living accommodation did not outweigh the substantial harm to character and appearance; for the rear extension element: the substantial weight given to the benefit of additional floorspace was consistent with the overall street scene and justified allowing that element.
