Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and its surroundings

What decided it

The substantial and incongruous nature of the proposed extensions in a prominent location would cause disproportionate harm to the character and appearance of the appeal property and the distinctive row of houses, which could not be justified by the limited housing and economic benefits.
