Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the wider terrace by infilling the recessed frontage that provides important visual relief and architectural rhythm, resulting in a dominant, flat-faced addition that conflicts with development plan policies and NPPF guidance on design quality.
