Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and adjoining terrace

What decided it

The proposed extension's disproportionate scale and depth, combined with its full plot width wrapping around both sides of the outrigger, would create an unduly large and incongruous feature that fails to respect the character and appearance of the host dwelling and adjoining terrace.
