Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, a locally listed building, and the local area.

What decided it

The height and scale of the proposed rear extension would be out of keeping with the host dwelling and would unacceptably affect the character and appearance of the dwelling and surrounding area, resulting in moderate harm to the locally listed building that is not outweighed by the limited benefits of the proposal.
