Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the original property, the street scene and the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of the existing neighbouring property number 12 Delacourt Road
What decided it
The proposal accords with development plan policies protecting character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours, as the extension's design, siting and relationship with neighbouring properties would be consistent with similar extensions already present in the street.
