Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that varying the condition would have on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed central gable would be an overly prominent and discordant feature that would be harmful to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, and this harm could not be outweighed by the structural difficulties encountered during construction.
