Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the streetscene and the character and appearance of the host dwelling and locality
What decided it
The front garage extension would project appreciably beyond the established building line and appear overly dominant and visually intrusive in the streetscene, conflicting with the area's characteristic regular building line and local design policies.
