Dormer window materials

Hi everyone. Our minor applications team at Newcastle City Council are currently debating whether zinc on the face and sides of a dormer window would be sufficiently similar in appearance to a slate tiled roof to count as permitted development under Class B. We'd really appreciate some input, as we have found past appeal decisions to be inconclusive. An applicant has drawn our attention to a dormer which has been built nearby without permission, and which has not received any enforcement action - photo attached. The colour is very similar, so would you say this is 'similar'?
