Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the front porch/bay extension upon the character and appearance of the host property and the street scene
- Whether sufficient information has been submitted in relation to the rear balcony and, if so, whether that element of the proposal is acceptable in planning terms
What decided it
The front porch extension significantly harms the character and appearance of the host property and street scene through its discordant scale, shape and form, and the rear balcony proposal lacks sufficient information to demonstrate acceptability in planning terms.
The appellant's need for additional living space does not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance caused by the front porch extension.
