Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The proposed hip-to-gable alteration would create an unacceptable visual relationship between the gable, the retained hipped roof of the side extension, and the adjoining dwelling, resulting in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host property and wider area, contrary to the development plan.

The limited benefit of providing additional habitable accommodation within the existing dwelling without extending its footprint does not outweigh the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host property and wider area.
