Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the external appearance of the building is acceptable (paragraph A.2(1)(e))
- Whether the impact on the amenity of the existing building and neighbouring premises including overlooking, privacy and loss of light is acceptable (paragraph A.2(1)(g))
What decided it
The proposed mansard roof with protruding flat roofed dormers would fundamentally alter the architectural composition of the building and fail to harmonise with the distinct vernacular of the existing building and neighbouring properties, making the external appearance unacceptable.
