Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed two-storey front extension on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The front boundary hedge would highly screen the proposal from public views, and the contemporary design would create an attractive focal point that enhances rather than harms the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
