Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed first-floor side and rear dormer extensions on the character and appearance of No.298 Coombe Lane and the streetscene, and on the living conditions of the neighbours with regard outlook
What decided it
The mixed character of the streetscene, the set-back position of the properties, and the modest scale of the extensions relative to existing features meant that the proposals would not cause harm to character and appearance or living conditions of neighbours.
