  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the area

The proposed extension would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area by creating a visually prominent and dominant three-storey building in stark isolation from the homogeneous two-storey streetscene, conflicting with Policies SP6 and HOU8 of the Ashford Local Plan and NPPF paragraph 130.
