Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to its height, design and positioning
What decided it
The loss of the characteristic sense of openness and space caused by the extension's positioning and encroachment into the grassed setback area, combined with the lack of design cohesion with the permitted office extension, was found to be harmful to the character and appearance of the area in conflict with the development plan.
