Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area

What decided it

The proposed side extension would abut the boundary leaving only a narrow gap, causing the houses to appear semi-detached and significantly harming the streetscene's prevailing character and form.
