Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the local area
the effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of occupiers of 13 Sandford Green, with particular regard to light and outlook

What decided it

The external insulation and rendering proposed to cover all external walls would be incongruous and out of character with the existing red brick construction characteristic of the estate, whereas the rear extension itself was acceptable in design and would not unacceptably harm neighbouring living conditions.
