Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
- whether the development constitutes good functional design, with particular regard to its external staired access
What decided it
The development's dominant, incongruous and out-of-character appearance, with timber cladding, stairs and balcony conflicting with the red brick host property, causes unacceptable harm to character and appearance contrary to Policies CS6, CS17 and MD2.
