Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the locality

What decided it

The modest scale of the extension, its subservient design with appropriate setbacks and hipped roof, and the substantial garden area meant the scheme would not result in overdevelopment or unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the property and locality.
