Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed double-storey side extension would overwhelm the existing dwelling's built form and appear as an unduly dominant feature in the street scene due to its corner plot location and lack of sufficient set-down and set-back, causing unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area.
