Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the extension on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the surrounding area
What decided it
The extension's substantial scale, box-like profile, dark grey timber external walls that contrast sharply with the traditional brick and half-timbered materials of the dwelling, and significant erosion of rear garden open space render it an obvious and alien feature that causes unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the dwelling and locality.
