Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed single storey front extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed single storey front extension on highway safety, in terms of parking
What decided it
The excessive scale of the proposed front extension, spanning the ground floor front elevation and sitting just below first-floor windows, would appear as a bulky and incongruous addition that would harmfully undermine the visual consistency of the street scene.
