Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The basement extension would not harm the character and appearance of the area because its flat roof would be set lower than the boundary wall, the bulk would be enclosed within the rear garden space, and it would be screened from wider street views, with a green roof condition to mitigate visual impact.
