Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the host building and the wider area
What decided it
The proposed alterations to fenestration, particularly the addition of a second first floor bay window and removal of decorative bow windows, would result in a dwelling visually discordant in the street scene and would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host building and wider area.
The private benefit of improved internal configuration was outweighed by the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host building and the wider area.
