Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the local area
  • The effect on living conditions at the next door property, 375 Farnham Road
  • Whether the proposal is tantamount to the provision of a separate new dwelling, and if so whether satisfactory living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of both No 377 and the new dwelling

What decided it

The extension's low height, modest scale, physical connection to the house, shared garden access and lack of full independent living facilities, combined with the ability to restrict its use by condition, meant it would not function as a separate dwelling and would not harm character, appearance or neighbours' living conditions.
