General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design, and landscaping to positively contribute to locality character (b and c). The officer found the flat roof failed this test by creating adverse visual impact on the dwelling and streetscene, clashing with pitched roofs.
Environment Policy 42
Seeks new development to take into account existing character and identity of the area. Assessed alongside GP2; the proposal's design was seen as failing to respect the area's character due to the prominent flat roof.
Dormer Extensions
Prefers extensions subordinate to main house with matching pitched roofs; flat roofs need justification and are often inappropriate if prominent. The large flat roof lacked justification, was not subordinate, and introduced an unacceptable new roof form visible publicly.
