Why was this refused?

visual impact on Conservation Area streetscene
design of front dormer (no set-back, discordant proportions)
overlooking (overruled)
rear dormer limited visibility
traditional building character

The proposal was for dormer windows on the front and rear of 21 Michael Street, Peel, a 3-storey terraced building with a ground floor bakery and flats above, located in the Peel Conservation Area.

Refusal Reasons

✗The proposed dormer would have a discordant and unbalancing effect on the simple appearance of the upper part of the front of this traditional building; the development would thus fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area.
