Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The change in roof form from gable to hipped, combined with the circular window, would create an unduly suburban and contrived appearance that is out of keeping with the character and appearance of the building and streetscene.
