Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal would not be readily visible within the street scene due to boundary fencing and would result in a more cohesive extension than available under permitted development rights, thus not causing unacceptable harm to character and appearance.
