Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the appeal building and that of the local area

What decided it

The extension, through its design, positioning and set-back first floor, appears as a subordinate and recessive element that complements rather than detracts from the mixed and unaligned character of the local streetscape.
