Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the unauthorised development on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
What decided it
The size, scale and bulk of the roof extension introduces an overly dominant and visually discordant feature which harms the character and appearance of the host building and area, contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this harm.
The benefits of additional living space and housing supply do not outweigh the harm to character and appearance of the host building and area.
