Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect of the development on the vitality and viability of strategic commercial centres in the area

What decided it

The extension unacceptably harms the character and appearance of the surrounding area by breaking the established building line and introducing a bulky, heavy structure with metal shutters that is entirely at odds with the prevailing character of the traditional corner shop and neighbouring properties.
