Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The width and height of the proposed side extension would significantly erode the separation gap between dwellings and disrupt the distinctive suburban character and spatial balance of the area.

The limited benefit of additional living accommodation did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance identified by the Inspector.
