Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The extension would be harmonious with the host dwelling and would not harm the character and appearance of the area due to its subordinate scale, matching materials, set-back position, and the property's atypical corner location with a larger plot size.
