Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed 2-storey side extension upon the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area

What decided it

The proposed extension, despite exceeding SPD width guidance, would appear subordinate and respectful of the original building due to its modest size, limited visibility from public views, and appropriate spacing, resulting in no material harm to character and appearance.
