Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and locality

What decided it

The modest design, proportions and retention of the stepping profile of the roof alterations, combined with their limited visibility from the public domain, meant the proposal would be neutral in terms of character and appearance and would not breach conservation area protection policies.
