Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
What decided it
The cumulative effect of the proposed first-floor extension and previously approved extensions would significantly harm the character and appearance of the property and surrounding area by disrupting the proportions and scale of the host dwelling and creating the impression of a terrace rather than a detached dwelling.
The high quality of the proposed development and matching materials did not outweigh the significant harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene caused by the cumulative effect of extensions.
