DMD 13 Roof Extensions
- Roof extensions to residential properties will only be permitted if all of the following criteria are met. Development must:
- Be of an appropriate size and location within the roof plane and, in the case of roof dormers, inset from the eaves, ridge and edges of the roof (insets should normally be between 500-750mm); and
- Be in keeping with the character of the property, and not dominant when viewed from the surrounding area;
- Roof extensions to the side of a property must not disrupt the character or balance of the property or pair or group of properties of which the dwelling forms a part.
- Roof dormers on front facing roofs will generally only be permitted if they do not materially affect the character of the area and are not dominant or intrusive when viewed from the surrounding area.
This policy should be read in conjunction with Core Strategy policy 4.
