Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the existing building and the surrounding area

What decided it

The first floor extension is subservient in design, would not be visible from the street, and the proposed render finish would enable it to integrate with the host property, such that it does not harm the character and appearance of the building and surrounding area.
