Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene
What decided it
The proposal would be harmful to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene by overwhelming the original dwelling, unbalancing its symmetry, and eroding the spaciousness of the plot.
The private benefit of additional habitable space carried limited weight but did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance identified.
