Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the area caused by the incongruous and disproportionate design of the proposed extension significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest social and economic benefits of one additional dwelling, even under the tilted balance triggered by the lack of five-year housing land supply.
