Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the first-floor rear extension on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The first-floor rear extension would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by creating a bulky, blocky rear elevation that conflicts with the uniform character of surrounding dwellings.
