Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene

What decided it

The proposed extension would protrude forward of the established building line without adequate setback or subservience, creating an incongruous and dominating feature that would harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene in breach of development plan policy.
