Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the introduction of gabled roof features to the forward projecting gables on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The introduction of substantial gabled roof features to the forward projecting wings would add excessive bulk to the front of the property, making it an overly dominant and incongruous feature within the street-scene that conflicts with the established character of the area and local design policies.
Good design forms a necessary core of any scheme and should be afforded substantial weight; the proposal fails to achieve this and conflicts with the development plan, therefore the appeal should be dismissed.
