Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed second floor rear extension and the terrace on the character and appearance of the host property, the terrace and the surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Walham Green Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed second floor rear extension and the terrace on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The design approach of using contemporary materials separated from the original building by a glazed link would appropriately define the extension as a later addition while preserving the conservation area character, and the extension would maintain acceptable distances from neighbouring properties to avoid harm to living conditions.
