The effect that varying the condition would have on the character and appearance of the approved dwelling, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Totteridge Conservation Area

What decided it

The modest proportions of the two dormer windows and their alignment with feature brick sections would achieve a balanced and symmetrical appearance that would not appear as an inappropriate amendment to the originally approved design.
