Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed hip-to-gable conversion would result in significant unbalancing of the established mirrored roof form of the semi-detached pair and would appear incongruous within the Beechdale streetscene, constituting unacceptable incremental change that harms the character and appearance of the area.
The private benefit of additional living accommodation to the appellant's family was outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the area and conflict with the development plan.
