Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing property and the area in general

What decided it

The topography of the area, the curve in the estate road, the property's setback from the highway, and the varying designs of neighbouring properties meant the proposed extensions would not appear incongruous or out of keeping with the character of the area.
