Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of Flat 9 with regard to outlook
- whether the development is supported by a suitable legal agreement
What decided it
The recessed design with generous set-backs and materials matching the host property ensured the extension would remain visually subordinate and not harm character and appearance, while the stepped-back volume would not dominate outlook from neighbouring Flat 9.
