Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property, the adjoining semi-detached property of which it forms a part and the area
What decided it
The proposed gabled roof extension and new front porch would fail to achieve appropriate subordination to the host property and would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host property, adjoining semi-detached property and the area.
The benefits of additional disabled persons accommodation and high-quality design were given some weight but were insufficient to outweigh the identified harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan.
