Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- the effect of the proposals on the living conditions of the neighbouring residents at 37 Croham Manor Road with particular reference to outlook and visual impact
What decided it
The extensions would not materially harm character and appearance or neighbouring living conditions, particularly as the two-storey element was consciously kept away from the common boundary and the spacious gardens in the area would absorb the development without harmful visual effects.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SP4DM10D3D6D12
