Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed ground floor extension would extend significantly beyond neighbouring buildings and would combine with the first floor extension to create a significant over-development that would harm the character and appearance of the area.
The benefits of providing an additional residential unit and making effective use of land were outweighed by the significant and permanent harm to the character and appearance of the area.
