Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the side extensions would be out of character with No. 41 and the street scene by creating a terracing effect with next door at No. 39
- Whether the extensions would cause harm to the residential amenity and light enjoyed by those at No. 39
What decided it
The completed 2-storey terrace would not appear unduly incongruous or out of character in the context of other terraces in Leigh Gardens, and strict policy compliance would produce a contrived appearance given the existing extension at No. 39.
