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 disproportionate scale of the resulting dwelling, the visibility of the extension from the road, and the reduction in the sense of openness would cause unacceptable harm to the host dwelling and the streetscene, which was not outweighed by the benefits to the occupants or compliance with overarching sustainability aims.
The benefits of extended living space and efficient use of the site did not outweigh the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area.
