- The effect of the proposed extensions on the character and appearance of the host building and the street scene
What decided it
The combination of existing similar extensions in the area, the availability of fallback permitted development rights, and the coherent design quality of the proposal itself justified allowing the appeal despite policy conflict.
The design merits and particular circumstances of the site, including the fallback position and existing precedent of similar extensions, outweighed the conflict with local design policies and guidance.
