Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal would project forward from the main front building line at ground level and create a gable end that disrupts the symmetrical roof form and coherence of the terrace, resulting in significant harm to character and appearance contrary to the development plan.
