Section 01
Development description
front and rear dormers with gable end build up.
Section 02
Decision
The appeal is dismissed.
Section 03
Main Issue
The main issue is the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area.
Section 04
Reasons
The appeal property is a two-storey modern semi-detached dwelling in a residential area. It is of simple rectangular form with a hipped roof and forms part of a row of similar buildings which are positioned roughly the same distance from the road with similar spaces between them. Thus, the area has a relatively uniform residential character and appearance.
The proposal to alter the roof from a hipped end to a pitched roof with gable end, would result in a roof form which would unbalance the pair of semi-detached properties. Furthermore, the proposed small dormer to the front roof slope would be prominent in the street scene and a noticeable feature at odds with the simple and plain roof slopes of the dwellings in the row. For these reasons, the scheme would harm the uniform character and appearance of the area.
In reaching these conclusions I have noted the numerous photographs of similar schemes in the village. However, none relate to properties in the immediate vicinity of the appeal site which have the uniform character and appearance I have identified. In any event the full details of those developments are not before me and each proposal must be considered on its merits.
I have also considered the comments about the difficulties in finding suitable accommodation in the area to meet the needs of the occupiers and that the proposal represents a viable solution. However, this does not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the area. I have also noted the comments in the [name], which say the proposed hip to gable extensions would be permitted development. However, I have assessed the scheme in its entirety and this element is integral to the proposal.
Thus, having taken into account all matters raised, on balance I find the proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area. It would therefore conflict with the development plan particularly Policy LP30 of the North Warwickshire Local Plan (2021) which seeks to ensure new development respects and reflects the existing pattern, character and appearance of its setting.
Section 05
Conclusion
For the reasons given the appeal should be dismissed.
