Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property at No. 1 Kilby Close with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposed extensions, being appropriately subordinate, set back, stepped down and using matching materials, would not have a harmful effect on character and appearance or result in unacceptable privacy impacts on the neighbouring property.
