Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and surrounding area
- the living conditions of existing and future occupants of the dwelling having regard to external living space provision
- parking provision and highway safety
What decided it
The harmful effect on character and appearance caused by the prominent, visually incongruous front carport extension, combined with inadequate external living space provision for the enlarged six-bedroom dwelling, outweighed any other considerations.
