Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to living space
What decided it
The proposal would significantly harm the character and appearance of the host property and the street scene by disrupting the consistent roofscape and appearing as an incongruous, bulky addition, and would fail to provide acceptable living conditions due to substantial shortfalls in internal floor space against adopted space standards.
