Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it
The raising of the eaves and ridge height would create unacceptable visual harm to the character and appearance of the area by disrupting the roofscape rhythm of the terrace row, and the extensions would provide unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to inadequate outlook and daylight.
