Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposal upon the appearance of the host dwelling and the character of the area and street scene
What decided it
The two-storey side extension would appear as a disproportionate and visually dominant addition on a prominent corner plot, harmful to the character of the area and contrary to policy requirements for extensions to be subordinate to the host dwelling.
