Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal upon the appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene

What decided it

The additional width of 1.2 metres beyond the previously approved fallback scheme would result in a single storey extension of approximately 4.5 metres width that would be visually prominent, out of scale with the host dwelling, and would dominate the street scene due to the site's corner plot location and elevated slab level.
