Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed lower ground floor extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area

What decided it

The depth of the extension would be seen in the context of the overall size and height of the existing principal built form and the long rear garden, making it a proportionate addition that would not have a harmful effect on character and appearance.
