Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to the light, outlook and sense of enclosure to 14 Ranelagh Drive
What decided it
The site-specific characteristics of the location, including the staggered rear building line and existing extensions, combined with the conservatory's lightweight materials, subservient appearance and acceptable impact on neighbouring living conditions, justified allowing the appeal despite minor non-compliance with the SPD depth guidance.
