Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
What decided it
The modest scale of the extension, use of matching materials, location away from highways, and functional integration with the host dwelling as an annexe rather than a separate dwelling ensured the proposal would respect local character and appearance while satisfying biodiversity protections.
