Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and its surroundings
- The impact that the proposal would have on neighbours' privacy
What decided it
The imposition of a condition requiring the side window to be glazed with obscured glass overcame the privacy objection, allowing the well-designed extension to proceed in accordance with development plan and national policies.
The benefits of the well-designed extension providing useful additional accommodation in a sustainable location outweighed the privacy concern, which was capable of being mitigated by condition.
