Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host properties and the surrounding area
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the host properties and surrounding area caused by the uncharacteristic bulk and mass of the extensions, which would interrupt the uniform character of the terrace group, outweighed the appellants' need for additional accommodation.
The appellants' desire for additional accommodation to meet family needs was outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan.
