Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area
Biodiversity and geodiversity
The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No 49 Braemar Avenue, with regard to light, outlook and sense of enclosure

What decided it

The proposed development would be harmful to the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area due to its ungainly proportions and visual incongruity on a prominent corner site, and would fail to demonstrate achievement of biodiversity net gain, conflicting with the development plan.

Framework references: 56

Plan policies cited: Policy DMP1, Policy BGI1, Residential Extensions & Alterations SPD2
