Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension to the dwelling upon the character and appearance of the host property and the wider street scene
- The effect of the proposed garage and garden room upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The garage and garden room would be large and prominent due to its siting, scale and bulk, appearing incongruous and obtrusive within the rear garden setting and detrimental to the residential character and appearance of the area, whereas the dwelling extension would be successfully assimilated into the street scene due to the particular spatial characteristics of the corner plot.
