Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, with particular regard to the host property's classification as a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The minimal increase in the length and scale of the proposed extension compared to the approved 2020 Permission, combined with the enhancement resulting from removal of the timber balcony, means the proposal would not harm the significance of the non-designated heritage asset and would preserve the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area.
