Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal upon the pattern of development and character of the area

What decided it

The existing dwelling is already an anomaly in the locality and the proposal, despite increasing footprint and bulk, would not conflict with the characteristics which the Council outlined as important to the area's nature, particularly given the significant setback and limited visibility from the road.
