Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the extension on the character and appearance of the house and area generally
What decided it
The extension's bulky and dominant appearance within the roof slope, poorly related to the dwelling's character and contrary to development plan policies requiring high quality design that preserves local character, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to indicate determination other than in accordance with the development plan.
The harm to character and appearance outweighed any other considerations; the fallback position of the extant planning permission for a smaller extension was given significant weight as a material consideration but did not justify the appeal scheme.
