Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the amended scheme on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The amended scheme would be harmful to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area through excessive bulk and massing of rear extensions that would conflict with development plan policies requiring appropriate scale, proportions and respect for original building form.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM D2, Policy DM D3, Policy D3, Policy D4
