Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed extension would create a visually incongruous two-storey outbuilding with poor asymmetric roof design that would be prominent in views from surrounding properties and would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the area contrary to Policy DM23.
