Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the area, having particular regard to its principal elevation
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the appeal property and the area, particularly the principal elevation, caused by design elements and materials that would be incongruous with the locally distinctive streetscene, outweighed the modest benefits of additional living space and improved sustainability.
