Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the appearance and development character of the local area
- whether the personal circumstances of the appellant outweigh any harm in respect of the development
What decided it
The significant harm caused by the development to the character and appearance of the area, arising from the discordant and contrived appearance of the annexe when sited between two rows of established terraced dwellings, outweighed the personal circumstances of the appellant.
The personal circumstances of the appellant and the need to provide care for his father's health concerns were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the local area caused by the scale, siting and discordant appearance of the proposed annexe.
