- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The single storey front extension element would fail to respect the original form and symmetry of the paired dwellings and would appear as a prominent and unsympathetic feature causing harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, contrary to development plan policies requiring high quality design responsive to local distinctiveness.
Plan policies cited: Policy CS15 of the Gateshead Newcastle upon Tyne Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan (2015), Policy DM20 of the Newcastle upon Tyne Development and Allocations Plan (2020), Policy DM23 of the Newcastle upon Tyne Development and Allocations Plan (2020)
