Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed side extension on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The misalignment of the first-floor window in the proposed side extension with the adjoining window in the host dwelling would create poor design that significantly detracts from the street scene, contrary to development plan policies and the NPPF.
