General Policy 2
GP2 requires that development does not adversely affect the character of the townscape or the amenity of residents and character of the locality (points (c) and (g)).

The key aspect was the dormer's outlier status among uniform neighbours without dormers; replacing it with a flush light was found not harmful, satisfying the policy.
Time limit
