Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at number 3 Preston Lane with particular regard to external amenity area and outlook

What decided it

The disproportionate scale, massing and transverse gable roof form of the proposed extensions would be unduly dominating and visually intrusive, causing unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host building and area, and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, which could not be outweighed by the fallback positions.

National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 12Paragraph 135
