Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the alleged development results in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and/or the living conditions of neighbouring residents
If so, whether unacceptable harm(s) can be avoided by an amended scheme, and whether such a scheme can be appropriately secured

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance arising from the misaligned roof form and contrasting porch could be satisfactorily resolved by an amended scheme requiring the dwelling to match the adjoining property's roof and porch design, making full demolition and reconstruction disproportionate.
