Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the wider area

What decided it

The proposed extension's scale, form, flat roof design, and contemporary materials would harmfully contrast with the area's established character and would fail to respect the character and appearance of the host property and its surroundings, conflicting with Policies HC8, CP14(5), and ES12 of the Stroud District Local Plan.
