Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed side extension on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed side extension on living conditions of neighbouring users
What decided it
The design of the proposed side extension fails to meet the development plan's aspirations for high quality design that complements the character of the area, particularly through its use of transverse roof pitches and unresolved boundary details that conflict with the austere simplicity of the original building form.
