Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed side extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene of Derwent Road and Mersey Road

What decided it

The proposed extension would fail to harmonise with the scale and architectural style of the host dwelling and would be materially harmful to the character and appearance of the street scene due to its dominant proportions and breach of the established building line at this prominent corner location.
