Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect upon the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings with particular regard to outlook, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The modest scale of the extension, its subservient design respecting the host building's form, and the absence of substantive evidence of significant harm to neighbouring living conditions outweighed the Council's concerns and justified allowing the appeal.
