Summary
A couple in the historic village of Pennan installed a new slate roof without council approval—only to face pushback from planners who wanted them to revert to old pan tiles. But after the committee saw the property firsthand, they flipped the script: the slate actually blended beautifully with surrounding homes, looked great, and added modern charm. Against the planners’ advice, the committee unanimously approved the roof—keeping the Oosterhofs’ upgrade and giving Pennan a stylish, timeless update.
