Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, the terrace in which it is located and the surrounding area
What decided it
The limited visibility of the proposed mansard extension from street level due to the building's height, parapet wall, and end-of-terrace location, combined with the modest design and appropriate materials, meant the proposal would not harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling, terrace or surrounding area.
The conflict with the 2015 Technical Update guidance on unbroken runs of butterfly roofs was outweighed by the limited visual impact from the street, the modest and well-designed nature of the extension, and its compliance with design quality policies.
