Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the property and terrace
  • the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties in terms of privacy

What decided it

The development is visually harmful to the character and appearance of the host property and terrace due to its design and materials being architecturally unsympathetic, conflicting with local plan policies requiring high quality development responsive to local context.
