Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area of Ravenscroft Avenue
What decided it
The permission already granted to the adjacent semi-detached property (No. 29) for a similar roof extension established a material consideration that justified rebalancing the appearance of the pair, outweighing the departure from design guidance and development plan policies.
The less-than-satisfactory compliance with design policies and SPD guidance was outweighed by the material consideration of the existing permission on No. 29 and the need to rebalance the asymmetrical appearance of the semi-detached pair.
