Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the architectural integrity of the host building, the semi-detached pair and thereby the character and appearance of the street scene

What decided it

The gable roof form of the proposed side extension, in contrast to the hipped roofs of the semi-detached pair, combined with the lack of setback from the street façade, would denude the symmetry and architectural integrity of the pair and cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the street scene.
