Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area through its cumulative bulk, scale, incongruous flat roofs, and conspicuous balcony, which would overwhelm the host dwelling and appear out of keeping with the local character.
