Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed first floor front extension and garage conversion on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, the semi-detached pair and the street scene of Stopsley Way
  • The effect of the proposed garage conversion on the biodiversity of the area and climate change

What decided it

The proposed first floor front extension would be well-designed, proportionate and subservient to the host dwelling, constructed in matching materials, and would not materially detract from the character or appearance of the street scene given the existing design variation in the area.
