Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the roof terrace on the character and appearance of the area and on the privacy of neighbouring occupiers
  • The effect of the increased height of the main roof on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The raised roof ridge, when assessed against the existing variations in ridge heights within the terrace caused by topography and different house types, did not result in a noticeable disparity that would harm the roofscape or character of the area.
