What decided it
The pergola's excessive size and scale, combined with poor quality materials, causes unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host building and area that cannot be justified by the appellant's personal circumstances or alternative design measures.
The legitimate and well-established planning policy aim to protect the character and appearance of the area was given greater weight than the appellant's personal circumstances and family welfare considerations.
