Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The design of the proposed dwelling, including its asymmetric roof style, height, and overall proportions, would be incongruous in the context of the traditional residential character of the area and would undermine the regular appearance of houses in this location.
