Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- the highway safety in the area
What decided it
The substantial bulk and out-of-character appearance of the proposed side extension and roof alterations, which would fail to achieve appropriate subordination to the host property and would be prominently visible from public vantage points, causing unacceptable harm that outweighed the absence of highway safety harm.
The lack of harm to highway safety was significantly outweighed by the substantial harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the area.
