Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The proximity of the proposed two storey side extension to the side boundary would result in an unacceptable loss of openness between the properties and the hip to gable roof extension would disrupt the uniform roofscape, together creating visual harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area.
