Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
What decided it
The cumulative visual impact of the two storey side extension and front extension would harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area by creating a development out of scale with its context and conflicting with development plan policies requiring well-designed, proportional extensions that respect surrounding contexts.
The appellant's contention regarding accessibility needs for an elderly relative did not clearly outweigh the permanent harm to character and appearance identified.
