Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed roof form, whilst differing from the approved scheme, would present a pitched roof to the front that blends with other roof forms in the area, and the proximity to neighbouring dwellings would obscure the bulk and side elevations, limiting visual impact on the character and appearance of the area.
