Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host property and the area
What decided it
The proposed extension would be disproportionately and uncharacteristically large in height, scale and form, resulting in an overly dominant, top-heavy building that would harmfully affect the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area.
The benefits of improved internal living accommodation and family occupation were outweighed by the substantial harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the area.
