Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including the appeal property

What decided it

The excessive width and bulk of the ground floor extension combined with the awkward positioning of the dormer and first-floor infill would unbalance the semi-detached pair and appear visually incongruous, unduly harming the character and appearance of the area.
