Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed extensions on the character and appearance of No. 8 Colin Road, together with the adjoining dwelling No. 6 and the street scene

What decided it

The proposed front dormer would appear incongruous in relation to the existing design of No. 8 and create an imbalance with the adjoining No. 6, causing harmful conflict with the development plan policies on character and appearance.

the benefit of an increase in living space was outweighed by the visual impact of the alterations and additions from the public realm
