Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the extension on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the surrounding area
- The effect of the extension on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers

What decided it
The extension's visual impact could be adequately controlled through a condition requiring submission and approval of appropriate external materials to replace the white cladding, bringing it into compliance with local plan policies on character and appearance.
