Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the street scene
What decided it
The proposal would detrimentally harm the character and appearance of the dwelling and street scene through its incongruous and prominent design that is out of character with the prevailing roof styles and would not appear as a subservient extension to the host dwelling.
