Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and the host dwelling

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the host dwelling through prominent and over-dominant additions that would conflict with development plan policies requiring extensions to be subordinate to the original dwelling.

applying Policy S4, the benefits of improvements to the housing stock and on-site parking would be substantially outweighed by the adverse effects to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area
