Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling

What decided it

The extension would be unacceptably dominated by the addition and would appear overbearing to the adjacent property, causing unacceptable harm to both the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
