Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the external appearance of the building and the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The minimal height increase of 2.55m combined with sympathetic design matching the host building's materials and fenestration means the proposal would not appear dominant in the street scene and would not harm the character and appearance of the area.
