Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed two storey extension would cause harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area by creating an incongruous, disruptive and awkward juxtaposition with its neighbours, contrary to the development plan policies on design and character.
The benefits of delivering four additional homes in an accessible location with efficient use of land and retention of the existing business use were outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area
