Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the area

What decided it

The raised roof with gables and rear dormer would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the area by markedly increasing scale and bulk and conflicting with the overwhelmingly hipped roof form characteristic of Chestnut Close.
