Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The development introduces discordant and alien features—particularly the flat-fronted bay window, shorter pillars, deeper rendered band, and visible black downpipe—that unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the established residential area by disrupting the uniform symmetrical layout and balanced appearance of the terrace.
