Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the dwelling and the wider street scene
  • The effects upon the amenity and living conditions of the neighbours at 5 Cowslip Close with particular regard to the potential for any oppressive and overbearing impacts

What decided it

The trivial breach of the SPD width guidance (27.5mm) would be undetectable to observers, and the extension would create a visually complementary and symmetrical appearance whilst maintaining sufficient separation distances to avoid material harm to neighbouring amenity.
