Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
What decided it
The bulk and scale of the proposed extension would be out of proportion to the host dwelling and would dominate it, undermining the balance of the semi-detached pair and eroding the strong symmetry integral to the character of Scotland Close, contrary to Policy DM1 and the Framework's requirement for good design sympathetic to local character.
