Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the development upon the character and appearance of the street scene along Susan Grove and, if adverse impacts are identified in that regard, whether the harm is outweighed by other material considerations.
What decided it
The adverse visual impact on the street scene is outweighed cumulatively by the replacement nature of the structure, the retention of openness at the front corner, the provision of reasonable privacy to the rear garden, improved security, and the absence of local objections.
