Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of neighbouring dwellings

What decided it

The reduction of the side extension to single storey form, combined with retention of physical gaps between the appeal property and neighbouring buildings, addressed the previous Inspector's concerns about terracing effect and ensured the proposal would be compatible with local character and safeguard neighbouring amenity.
