Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area

What decided it

The development's failure to respect local character and appear subordinate to the host dwelling, particularly through the excessive width and dominance of the porch and the minimal setback of the side extension creating a terracing effect, rendered it visually unattractive and contrary to development plan policy and the NPPF.

Policy DE1
