Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- whether the proposed development would secure an acceptable standard of living conditions for future occupiers
What decided it
The varied character of Gloucester Road with mixed property styles, ridge heights and scales, combined with the appeal site's wider plot width and the high-quality design of the proposed extensions, means the development would integrate well with its surroundings and not harm character and appearance.
