The proposal involves adding a front dormer window to the existing detached dormer bungalow, featuring a slightly sloping flat roof with two windows and a rooflight, providing a box room and bathroom at first floor. The dormer would be clad in uPVC timber effect horizontal cladding with a small render panel.

The officer assessed that dormer windows can be visually divisive and introduce new windows impacting neighbours, but this proposal would not have unduly harmful effects.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 applies in areas not within conservation areas, supporting development appropriate to predominantly residential zoning. The officer assessed the dormer as proportionate and visually acceptable in the streetscene of mixed bungalow and dormer styles, with a condition to match roof colour ensuring character compatibility. No tensions noted.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Materials approval
The external wall finish to the dormer extension hereby approved shall be finished with a grey-brown colour to match the existing roof unless otherwise agreed in advance with the Department. A material and / or colour sample of the external wall finish to the dormer extension hereby approved shall submitted to the Department for its written approval prior to the external wall being cladded or coloured as appropriate. Reason: In the interest of the character and appearance of the site relative to the surrounding streetscene.
