Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the dwelling, the semi-detached pair of which it forms part and the street scene
What decided it
The proposal would extend across the full width of the property, contrary to the established street scene pattern of subservient front extensions, and would appear overly large and dominating to the detriment of the character and appearance of the dwelling and street scene.
The benefit to the appellants of additional space would not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the dwelling and street scene.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CH2Policy CH3
