Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extensions on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The loft extension would add unacceptable bulk and mass to the roof, creating an overly dominant, top-heavy appearance that contrasts unfavourably with the predominant pitched roof form of surrounding dwellings and appears incongruous in the residential setting.

- Policy LP26Policy LP30
