Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed three storey rear extension on the character and appearance of the host building, the adjoining terrace and the surrounding area, including the Mortlake Conservation Area.
What decided it
The proposed three storey rear extension, owing to its sympathetic design, subservient scale and inconspicuous siting against the adjacent taller flatted development, would have no materially harmful effect on the character and appearance of the host building, terrace or surrounding area and would preserve the significance of the Mortlake Conservation Area.
