Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building, the pair of semi-detached dwellings to which it belongs and the local area
What decided it
The proposed extensions would appear as a dominant and disproportionate addition that would seriously unbalance the semi-detached pair and interrupt the established pattern of development along Queen Street, thereby causing detrimental harm to character and appearance that outweighs the household accommodation benefits.
The valuable additional accommodation meeting the pressing needs of the household and the absence of adverse effects on neighbours' living conditions did not outweigh the identified harm to character and appearance
