Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed ground floor element of the side extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
What decided it
The visual coalescence of the proposed ground floor extension with the front porch, caused by their alignment and shared roof, would destroy the porch as a discrete element and harm the coherent suburban character of the street.
The benefits to the occupiers from providing additional secure bicycle storage and space for a domestic workshop did not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
