Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it
The excessive length, width and height of the proposed extension, combined with its proximity to the shared boundary with No 56, would result in an unduly dominant and overbearing addition that harms both local character and the outlook of neighbouring occupiers.
