Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed developments on the character and appearance of the host building and its surroundings on Clapton Common

What decided it

Appeal B's incorporation of the first floor extension within an extended roof created a subordinate, integrated design that respected the character of the area and complied with policy requirements for high-quality design responsive to local context, whereas Appeal A's flat roof extension would dominate the rear elevation and conflict with design guidance.
