Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the surrounding area

What decided it

The linked side and rear extension would be of substantial bulk and massing with multiple conflicting roof forms that would create a top-heavy, oversized addition not subordinate to the host dwelling, introducing a visually intrusive feature into the street scene.
