Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal upon the street scene and character of Karen Gardens

What decided it

The unacceptable scale, massing and design of the extensions would appear unduly prominent within the street scene and fail to respect the character of Karen Gardens, where there is no evidence of such extensive extensions on other properties.
