Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The scale and siting of the two-storey side extension would make it a prominent and intrusive feature that breaches the building line and harms the character and appearance of the surrounding area, contrary to the development plan.
The benefits of additional family accommodation and improved energy efficiency were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the street scene.
