Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the two storey side extension on the character and appearance of the host property and the local area

What decided it

The side extension, although exceeding the SPD width guidance, was subservient to the host property and appeared modest within its local context where other similar extensions existed, thus not having a harmful effect on character and appearance.

Plan policies cited: CS1, PSP1, PSP38, PSP16, PSP39
