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

What decided it

The cumulative size and scale of the proposed extension, when combined with existing extensions, would result in a 140% increase in floorspace and would not appear subordinate to the original dwelling, thereby harming the character and appearance of the dwelling and surrounding countryside.
