Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, host terrace and surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed gable end roof would appear incongruous with the characteristic shallow hipped roofs of the Becontree Estate and would cause harm to the significance of the non-designated heritage asset that is not outweighed by any benefits.

The harm to the significance of the non-designated heritage asset was not outweighed by any benefits arising from the proposed development.
