Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling
- The effect on trees and hedges
- The effect on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers
What decided it
The proposed extension to the host dwelling would be harmful to its character and appearance by appearing disproportionate and discordant in relation to the existing dwelling, conflicting with local design policies, whereas the garage extension would be acceptable and capable of being constructed independently.
The acceptability of the garage extension in terms of design, trees and living conditions did not outweigh the harm caused to the character and appearance of the host dwelling by the proposed extension.
