Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The two-storey side extension would appear unduly dominant and incongruous, failing to appear subservient to the host dwelling and causing significant adverse harm to the character and appearance of the property and streetscene, in conflict with the development plan.
