Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the host property and wider street scene
What decided it
The proposed roof additions would be harmful to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider street scene, conflicting with local design policies and the Framework's requirements for high quality, visually attractive development sympathetic to local character.
The benefits of enhanced family accommodation were outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the host property and wider street scene.
