Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The proposed extension fails on both main issues: its substantial scale and position beyond the building line would harm the character and appearance of the area, and adequate off-street parking cannot be demonstrated to meet the increased parking requirement for a 4-bedroom dwelling.
