- The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the Exeter Gardens street scene
What decided it
The appeal dwelling's position as the last in the row meant the roof extension would be read as a clear demarcation of the change in townscape character, and the existing strong architectural features were sufficient to offset concerns about the extended area's size.
The visual impact of the roof extension was weighed against its location at the end of the terrace and the offsetting effect of the dwelling's strong architectural features, tipping in favour of the proposal.
