Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that the external appearance of the proposed development would have on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed extension would be dominant, bulky and intrusive, harmfully eroding the important consistency and openness of the Lane End Road street scene and being incongruous in its surroundings.
