But how else would you 'design' a roof enlargement giving acceptable headroom, not going above the ridge, and not looking like a portacabin?

I agree it doesn't look good, but people need the space, and children should not be confined to rabbit-hutch housing.

The whole point of having a planning control regime is to prevent the majority having to put up with the stupid shanty town desires of a few inconsiderate a holes.

The back of the house? You could see that monstrosity from the moon.

And if you want your decking 301mm off the ground, or a shed for the mower on the side of the house you need to go through the whole planning process.
