Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the architectural integrity of the host property, the semi-detached pair and thereby the character and appearance of the street scene and the wider area

What decided it
The Inspector's assessment that the proposed extension, despite its scale, would appear as a well-mannered design solution that would not cause significant harm to the character of the street scene or the living conditions of neighbours, particularly given the prior substantial alterations to the neighbouring semi-detached property.

- Development plan policies
- Policy EN1 of the Spelthorne Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document (Adopted February 2009)Supplementary Planning Document for the Design of Residential Extensions and New Residential Development (Adopted April 2011)
