Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extensions on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed extensions would be out of scale with the dwelling and incongruous in relation to the existing streetscene, causing unacceptable harm to character and appearance that cannot be justified by the private benefits of the annexe accommodation.
