Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and area
- whether the proposed development would secure an adequate standard of fire safety
What decided it
The proposed rear extensions would be excessively bulky and dominant in scale, creating a structure that would be clearly visible from neighbouring properties and the surrounding area, thereby unacceptably harming the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the wider area.
