Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the impact of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it
The proposed extension's excessive scale and bulk would appear as an obtrusive, dominant structure that would adversely impact both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing outlook impact.
