Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the house and the local area
- Living conditions at the next door property, No 48, in terms of light and outlook
What decided it
The extension's low profile, subservient appearance and compliance with the 45 degree angle test for neighbouring light and outlook, combined with the affected window serving only an en suite bathroom, meant the proposal would not harm character and appearance or significantly affect living conditions.
