Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed side extension on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The wide tree-lined entrance to Waltham Drive and the setback position of the adjacent property's gable meant that the proposed side extension, although obvious in the streetscene, would not detract from the openness or harm the character and appearance of the area.
