## Summary
Two side dormers on a Sheffield terrace were dismissed as dominant additions, unlike the area's small dormers (DL ¶6, ¶14).

## What made the difference
The scale of the dormers relative to the local pattern. DP3 was cited alongside 1990s local guidance (DL ¶14).

## Policy findings
- **DP3: fail.** dormers out of scale with the small front dormers characteristic of the area; conflict with DP3 and local design policies (DL 6-14)

## Key facts
- Not re-consulted: revisions "do not significantly change the assessment" (DL 3)
