Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The end-of-terrace location of the property meant that a wraparound extension would not disrupt the pattern of indented returns typical of mid-terrace properties and would not be detrimental to the form of the terrace, allowing the proposal to preserve the character of the Conservation Area.
