Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed porch design with its gable end would appear incongruous and compete with the distinctive bay window feature of the semi-detached dwelling, causing harm to the character and appearance of the area that outweighs any functional or sustainability benefits.
