Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The site-specific layout of neighbouring dwellings and the limited projection of the extension, combined with the existing characteristics of the neighbouring properties, demonstrate that the development would not have an unacceptably harmful effect on neighbouring living conditions with respect to outlook and light.
