Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed hip to gable loft conversion and rear dormer on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, the semi-detached pair and the street scene of Baldwins Lane

What decided it

The particular design of the appeal dwelling with its prominent central projection, combined with the existing prevalence of hip to gable conversions and gable-ended dwellings in the immediate vicinity, meant the proposed conversion would sit comfortably in the street scene without materially detracting from character and appearance.
