Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that varying the disputed condition would have on the character and appearance of the street scene, with particular regard to the appeal property's front elevation

What decided it

The proposed variation would result in the loss of characteristic hipped roof and bay window features that define the group of dwellings, creating a prominent and incongruous frontage that would harmfully undermine the character and appearance of the street scene.
