Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene
- Whether the personal circumstances of the appellants outweigh any harm in respect of the development
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene, arising from the incongruous design, scale and massing of the combined extensions, outweighed the modest weight attributable to the appellants' personal circumstances relating to disability adaptation.
The substantial weight afforded to the conflict with design and character policies and the NPPF, and the importance of high-quality design, outweighed the modest weight of the appellants' personal circumstances; the appeal was dismissed.
