Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the building and area

What decided it

The proposed gambrel roof would unbalance the appearance of the terrace and be out of character with other similarly sized terraces within the street, causing the host dwelling to appear out of place and incongruous.
