Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The recessed position of the first-floor additions and the retention of adequate separation distances to the side boundaries, combined with the existing diversity of building sizes and plot widths in the area, meant the extensions would not appear incongruous or harm the spacious and verdant character of the locality.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS8, Policy DM10, The London Plan 2021 Policy HC1
