What decided it
Appeal A's 2 storey rear extension would be unacceptably massive and out of scale, creating severe harm to both the character and appearance of the street and the living conditions of the neighbouring property, whereas Appeal B's design with a lower single storey extension on one side and articulated 2 storey extension on the other would avoid these harms.
