Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the property and the street scene

What decided it

The overly complex roof form created by the combination of three separate gable features on the front of the house would result in an awkward, disjointed appearance that is unduly detrimental to the overall design of the property and the street scene.
