Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and its surroundings
- The effect of the proposed development on the residential amenities of neighbours (whether unacceptable harm would be caused by overbearing appearance or visual intrusion)
What decided it
The proposed extension, although altering the character of the host building, would be acceptable in planning terms given its compatibility with the wider surroundings, its sited position below road level, and the absence of undue harm to neighbours' amenities.
