Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area

What decided it

The side extension would not be subservient to the host dwelling and would destroy the symmetry and balance of the semi-detached pair, appearing out of balance and harmful to the street scene, particularly given the site's prominent location on a bend in the road.
