Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The two-storey front extension would appear as an unduly prominent and incongruous feature in the streetscene due to its closer proximity to the highway than neighbouring properties, significantly diminishing the area's spacious character.

- Policy EN1 of the Spelthorne Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document 2009
