Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and area
What decided it
The proposed extension would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and area by introducing an overly large, dominating extension in a prominent position that would be out of keeping with the scale, proportions and appearance of the host dwelling and those in the street scene.
The significant visual harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of making more effective use of the site for the appellants' accommodation needs.
