Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area, specifically in respect of the proposed roof form
What decided it
The fallback position of the hip-to-gable conversion as permitted development, combined with the partial hip catslide design of the appeal scheme, would mitigate the visual impact of the gable end and avoid undue harm to the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area.
