Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the host building and the area.

What decided it

The existence of prior approval for a larger home extension (2020/3240) as a realistic fallback position, combined with the subterranean nature of the basement which would have no visual impact on the character and appearance of the host building or surrounding area, justified allowing the appeal.
