Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed extensions, with particular reference to the roof extensions and side extension on the character and appearance of the existing building and the local area

What decided it

The careful subordinate design of the extensions, particularly the setbacks and reduced roof lines, combined with the precedent of similar hip to gable extensions in the locality, meant the proposal would respect the character and appearance of the existing building and local area.

Framework references: 12

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan, Policy DM10 of the Council's LDF Core Strategy 2102
