Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed development would introduce a two-storey gabled front projection that would appear incongruous and out of character within Martin Road, with materials and proportions that fail to harmonise with the host building and neighbouring properties.
