Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The single storey front extension element, when considered as part of the overall scheme, would unacceptably harm the balance and symmetry of the semi-detached pair and introduce a jarring, incongruous feature that departs from the pleasing sense of spaciousness in the area.

- Development plan policies
- ENV 2ENV 3L1S6
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 12
