Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
What decided it

What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy C15 of the Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan for Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne (2015)Policy DM20 of Newcastle's Development and Allocations Plan (2020)Policy DM23 of Newcastle's Development and Allocations Plan (2020)
