Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the two-storey side extension on the character and appearance of the streetscene
- The visual amenity of the neighbouring dwelling at No.36 Wyverne Road
What decided it
The modest projection of the extension combined with its sympathetic design approach, which continues the host dwelling's roof form and would not create a terracing effect or visual overbearing impact on the neighbouring property, meant it accorded with UDP Policy DC1 and design policies.

- Development plan policies
- UDP Policy DC1CS Policy DM1CS Policy SP1CS Policy EN1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135Paragraph 54
