Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The extension's materials (blockwork, rendered blockwork, timber panels, plastic sheeting) and flat roof design are at odds with the red brick construction and hipped/pitched roofs characteristic of the host property and surrounding area, making it an incongruous and harmful feature in the street scene.
