Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed side extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene
What decided it
The combined effect of the two extensions would double the frontage width of the original dwelling, causing it to dominate and appear incongruous and uncharacteristic due to excessive width and bulk, thereby harming the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene contrary to development plan policies.
