Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property, the pair of semi-detached properties and the area

What decided it

The scale, width and lack of subordination of the proposed extensions would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host property, the semi-detached pair and the wider area, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval.
