What decided it
The use of a gable roof on the proposed extension would form a visually incongruous feature at odds with the prevailing hipped roof design in the area, causing significant harm to character and appearance that outweighed the appellant's personal reasons for the extension.
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the gable roof design outweighed the appellant's reasons for wishing to extend the dwelling.
