Planning permission denied But permitted development covered

[aConfusedNinja]

So we put in a planning application to do a side extension on our property which included a hip to gable roof change. The street has already had a hip to gable change on others but they were detached while mine is a semi.
We had a council member show interest and blocked the roof aspect after our none attached neighbour complained saying it didn't fit with street and would be dominating on their drive that sites between our two homes. So we were forced to change to a hipped roof to get approval. Due to the shape of the house this has increased our cost and time frame etc. It also now means we need to access neighbours property to maintain and we lose the ability to covert the attic at a latter date.

We have not started our extension yet (start in 3 months) and we now find that the neighbour who objected and started the ball that got it blocked is having a hip to gable with Dormer roof conversion done on his building. Ignoring the fact there objection stated they felt it didnt fit with the street the other object was regarding it being dominating to there drive. There building sits about 50cm higher than ours so there Gable roof would be far more dominating but clearly this no longer bothers them.

We dont care to stop them we just want our cheaper and smarter gable roof back. Since the council has now given them permission are we not able to request ours also be approved?
Can we do an amendment? or change ours as permitted development also?

Does anyone have any advice please?

Hip to gable is within permitted development, as are dormers as long as you stick to the rules. see rules below

Its surprising how many developments are refused with planning when they dont actually need planning . I am sure the architects are taking the proverbial not telling clients when it can be done under PP.

Hip to gable roof extensions can be carried out under PD providing they meet the requirements. If however the OP is proposing a two storey side extension with the gable roof over that, then that’s not PD and the LPA will determine the proposals including roof type/shape via Planning policy.
