Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and the street scene
What decided it
The proposed extension would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the dwelling and street scene through its prominent, bulky design and large flat roof, which could not be outweighed by the personal circumstances of the disabled occupant given the availability of alternative solutions.
The accessibility benefits for the disabled occupant were outweighed by the significant adverse impacts on character and appearance, as alternative solutions could deliver substantially the same benefits without conflict with the development plan.
