Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene

What decided it

The proposed extension would significantly harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene by creating a visual pinch point, cramped appearance, and unacceptable terracing effect that would unduly harm the openness of the street.
