Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The proposal would transform a conventional dwelling into an overtly modern building with a stark presence that would contrast markedly with the distinctly traditional characteristics of Valley Drive, thereby being detrimental to the established character and appearance of the street scene.
