Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal would dominate the original dwelling and fail to appear subservient to it, whilst also exceeding the return building line and causing a loss of openness on the prominent corner, thereby conflicting with the development plan policies that collectively seek to ensure high standards of development harmonising with local context.

The benefits of providing additional living accommodation in an accessible location were outweighed by the significant harm identified to the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area.
