Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area through a significant and disproportionate increase in mass and scale that would make the property appear bulky and incongruous within the street scene.
