Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
- whether the proposal would conserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Salcombe Conservation Area and preserve the setting of neighbouring listed buildings
- the effects of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers in terms of overlooking and noise
What decided it
The modest proportions, design and siting of the extension, combined with the privacy screening conditions, meant the proposal would not harm the character and appearance of the area or the amenities of neighbours, and would comply with the development plan taken as a whole.
