Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
What decided it
The proposed extensions would be overdominant, non-subservient additions with gable roofs that jar with the predominant hipped roof character of the area, and would create an unacceptable terracing effect if implemented together, causing significant harm to the character and appearance of the host properties and streetscape.
