Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • flood risk with particular regard to surface water drainage and water efficiency measures

What decided it

The front extension would have a significant harmful effect on the character and appearance of the streetscene by appearing as a boxy, intrusive and incongruous addition that conflicts with the consistent building line of the neighbourhood parade.
