Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether planning permission should be granted for roof works carried out, comprising a hip-to-gable roof extension incorporating a rear dormer, on the ground that the development is permitted development under Class B of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
What decided it
The development as built fails to accord with development plan policies on character and appearance due to its dominant, top-heavy appearance and use of unsympathetic materials on the side elevation, which is discordant in the street scene.
Plan policies cited: Black Country Core Strategy (2011) Policy ENV2, Black Country Core Strategy (2011) Policy ENV3, Dudley Borough Development Strategy (2017) Policy L1, Dudley Borough Development Strategy (2017) Policy S6, Residential Design Guide SPD (2023)
