Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The non-subservient and incongruous nature of the proposed extension, which would unbalance the symmetry of the semi-detached pair and cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance, outweighed the appellants' personal circumstances.
The personal circumstances of the appellants regarding health and care needs were weighed against the identified harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan, with the harm outweighing the personal circumstances.
