Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the breach of planning control on the character and appearance of the area
  • The safe and convenient use of the rear access by pedestrians and motorists

What decided it

The rear access already exhibited inconsistency in width and boundary treatments, so the extension did not appear materially out of place, and vehicular and pedestrian access remained safe and convenient.
