Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the external appearance of the building (A.2(1)(e))
  • transport and highways impacts of the development (A.2(1)(a))

What decided it

The external appearance of the additional storey would be unacceptable as it would significantly increase the building's massing and scale, making it unduly obtrusive and out of character with the surrounding two-storey terraced properties.
