Planning permission had previously been granted for a new 3-bedroom dwelling on this plot in Watford, however permission was later refused for the addition of a side dormer on the property and also for an application to remove a condition from the original approval which took away permitted development rights for any roof additions.
These decisions were both taken to appeal by Warner Planning where the inspector deemed the addition of a windowless dormer would appear as a small, subservient element on the roofscape and would not result in the dwelling appearing top heavy, or unbalanced. The condition to remove permitted development rights was deemed by the inspector to be not reasonable or necessary and both appeals were allowed.
