Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed north side extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area.

What decided it

The proposed north side extension would appear overly prominent and disjointed within the street scene, failing to respect the distinctive character and design of the traditional host dwelling, contrary to Policy SCLP11.1.

Plan policies cited: Policy SCLP11.1, Policy SCLP9.1
