Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The proposed half-hip roof design and dominant dormer would appear as an incongruous and discordant element in the street scene, conflicting with the prevailing hipped roof character of the area and failing to respect the proportions and design of the original dwelling.
