Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The main issue is the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area.

What decided it

The ability to remedy the unacceptable character and appearance harm through a condition requiring a 1.6m reduction in the building's ridge height, informed by the appellant's own proposals under PA22/02737.

The unacceptable harm to character and appearance was weighed against the accepted principle of a replacement dwelling, the fallback position, and the appellant's genuine remedial efforts, tipping in favour of granting permission subject to a condition requiring height reduction and landscaping.
