Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The additional storey would significantly add to the height of the building, rising above the eaves and ridgeline of the neighbouring dwelling and appearing incongruous within the street context, thereby causing harm to the external appearance of the dwelling and the street scene.
