Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area

What decided it

The fallback position of planning permission 22/1251/CLP for similar extensions carried substantial weight and outweighed the identified harm to character and appearance, whereas the front boundary treatment had no comparable fallback and was demonstrably harmful to the area's character.
