Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether other material considerations, including the personal circumstances put forward by the appellant, justify the proposal
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the large, incongruous porch design conflicting with the uniform appearance of the terrace outweighed the appellant's personal circumstances, which were given limited weight.
The harm to character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area outweighed the personal circumstances of the appellant, which were given limited weight; the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to justify it.
