Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal upon the design and character of the host dwelling as well as the character and appearance of the street scene.

What decided it

The cumulative visual impact of the hip-to-gable extension and the roof design of the proposed side extension would appear incongruous, out of character, and visually dominant within the street scene, contrary to the requirement to respect and acknowledge the character and identity of the locality.
