Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the wider street scene
What decided it
The cumulative effect of raising the ridge and eave height by 1.25m, adding a side dormer and side extension would create an overbearing, bulky appearance that disrupts the distinctive roofscape and visual rhythm of the street scene.
