Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the dwelling and surrounding area
What decided it
The scale, massing and proportions of the proposed extension would detract from the character and appearance of the existing house and surrounding area in conflict with local plan and neighbourhood plan policies, and this harm could not be outweighed by energy efficiency benefits that could equally be achieved through more sympathetic design.
