Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the building and area
What decided it
The proposed side extensions would present a bulky, incongruous addition with a flat roof that would interrupt the staggered building line and conflict with the dual pitched roof design characteristic of the area, thereby harming both the building's appearance and the wider street scene.
