The proposal involves installing a dormer window in the side elevation roof and erecting a single-storey extension to the rear of a semi-detached dwelling in a residential area of Ramsey. The dormer is similar in position and form to one previously approved at nearby 20 Ash Grove. The rear extension is minor in scale.

The officer noted the dormer is unusual for side elevations but acceptable due to a very similar dormer approved on appeal at 20 Ash Grove, establishing precedent for such features in the street.

GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects siting, scale, design, amenity, highway safety, and avoids adverse impacts on character, wildlife, or traffic. The officer assessed the dormer against precedent at 20 Ash Grove and the minor rear extension for lack of harm to amenity or safety, finding full compliance in this residential area. No tensions noted as proposal aligns with presumption for extensions per para 8.12.1.
