Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area

What decided it

The proposed extension would substantially increase the bulk and scale of the outshot to become comparable to the original dwelling, eroding the clear hierarchy and subservient relationship, and the expansive glazed balcony would overwhelm the eastern gable, resulting in substantial harm to character and appearance that would not be outweighed by limited functional benefits.
