Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposal on the setting of 9 Cripplegate as a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The proposed first-floor rear extension would appear unduly dominant and incongruous due to its depth and bulky crown roof form being disproportionate to the modest first-floor scale of the main house, thereby detracting from the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area contrary to local plan policy.
