Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, having particular regard to the effect on the Broom Avenue street scene
What decided it
The specific circumstances of the appeal site, including the hipped roof form, matching materials, well-executed detailing, and the context of other extended dwellings on the street, justified a decision departing from the SPD guidance and allowing the appeal.
The departure from the recently adopted SPD guidance on wall set back and roof height was outweighed by the sympathetic design, material matching, and the absence of material harm to the character of the street scene when considered in context.
