Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the external appearance of the building, including the design and architectural features of the principal elevation

What decided it

The proposed extension would project forward of the adjoining building line at a greater height than the existing building, creating an incongruous and discordant feature that harms the external appearance of the building and fails to comply with GPDO limitations on external appearance and design.
