Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area

What decided it

The significantly reduced scale and bulk of the single storey extension compared to the previously dismissed 1.5 storey scheme, combined with its subordinate appearance and integration within the landscape context, overcomes the previous inspector's concerns and accords with development plan policies requiring high quality design.
