Overshadowing
Furthermore No 204 is located on the north side of No 202. I consider that the proposed extension, because of its height and its proximity to the boundary, would result in an unacceptable level of overshadowing. Planning Inspector

Character and appearance
The building's visual appearance clearly contributes to the overall street scene Planning Inspector

The proposal's form scale, massing and elevational design would result in an unsympathetic change to the property that would neither respect the overall character of the locality nor have a satisfactory relationship with its surroundings. The proposal would not be in harmony with the existing property and would harm the overall street scene.

Planning Inspector
Although the adjacent small terrace of houses...the effect visually when linked together in a longer terrace building is quite different to that of a single house. The proposals would be incongruous features in the street scene, giving rise to unsympathetic change and an unsatisfactory relationship with their surroundings. Planning Inspector

The building would be relatively narrow compared both with its height and depth. This would emphasise the vertical dimension of the building, not overcome by some detailed features designed to mitigate this effect. In combination these features would result in a cramped overall appearance. Planning Inspector
