Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on flood risk in respect of surface water drainage

What decided it

The character and appearance of the area would not be unacceptably harmed by the extension given its appropriate setback, modest height, glazed frontage, and consistency with the mixed and varied character of town centre fringes.
