Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The hip to gable conversion and oversized rear dormer would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the residential area by conflicting with the prevailing hipped roof design and creating visual incongruity.

Private benefits of additional family space and the absence of neighbour objections did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance; the need for four-bedroom houses could be addressed through a scheme that would not cause such harm
