Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted, having particular regard to the resulting external appearance of the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The appeal dwelling's recessed and discreet position in the street, set back from other dwellings and at a lower ground level, combined with framing by dense mature trees, would prevent the extended dwelling from visually dominating or appearing unacceptably stark in the area.
