Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounds

What decided it

The outbuilding's substantial scale, projection beyond the established building line, and prominence in the streetscene result in harm to character and appearance that outweighs any other considerations, whereas the front extension and boundary wall are acceptable.
