Summary
A Midlothian homeowner’s dream porch got derailed by a 30-centimeter measurement—yes, that’s less than a foot—when planners nixed the design, claiming it was “over-dominant.” The applicant’s team argues it’s a negligible detail, pointing to a similar porch across the street and future accessibility needs. With no neighbor complaints and the length already approved, this tiny setback could be the nail in the coffin—or just a minor hiccup. The case heads to the Local Review Body next week, where the real test will be whether bureaucracy can see past the numbers and appreciate the bigger picture.
