Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The front porch would dominate the front elevation and be incongruous and harmful to the character of the area, contrary to Policy CSP1 and NPPF paragraph 130, and this harm is not outweighed by the practical internal benefits claimed.
