Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding locality
- Living conditions of No.24 Decoy Avenue with particular regard to outlook and sense of enclosure
What decided it
The proposed extensions, when experienced within the context of the locality, would be in keeping with surroundings in terms of height, materials, setback, roof forms and visual gaps, and would not cause adverse detriment to neighbouring living conditions.
The benefits of extending the dwelling in a design that respects local character and maintains acceptable living conditions for neighbours outweighed any concerns about the scale and depth of the extensions.
