Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the architectural integrity of the host property and the terrace of which it is part
What decided it
The proposed extension would appear as a subservient, well-mannered addition that would not harm the architectural integrity of the host property or terrace, and would on balance better reflect the vernacular character compared to the existing utilitarian projection.
The alteration to the appearance of the host property and terrace was outweighed by the improvement to the vernacular character and appearance achieved by replacing the unattractive utilitarian existing projection.
