Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene

What decided it

The proposed extension would have an unacceptably harmful effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene through its excessive width and incongruous form, conflicting with adopted development plan policies.
