Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed extensions and alterations would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposal would cause significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers

What decided it

The careful design of the extension, particularly the hipped roof and subservient scale of elements, combined with the maintenance of staggered siting and improved privacy screening, demonstrates that the proposal would not result in significant harm to character, appearance or neighbouring amenity.
