Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the locality
  • effect of the proposal on living conditions for future residents and neighbours

What decided it

The Inspector's site visit assessment that the proposed single-storey, green-roofed design set at lower ground level would appear relatively innocuous and add interest to the streetscene rather than constitute over-development, combined with adequate private amenity space for both the new dwelling and the host property.
