Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property

What decided it

The extension's low single storey flat-roofed form, matching materials, and subordinate relationship to the host dwelling, combined with its location behind the frontage and the presence of similar large flat-roofed extensions in the local area, meant it would not harm the character and appearance of the host property or the area.
