Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area

What decided it

The modest scale of the extension, its consistency with existing design and materials, and the substantial corner plot location meant there would be no harm to character and appearance despite a technical breach of the Householder Design Guide.
