Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupants of number 37 Chequers Way
What decided it
The fallback position of the previously approved 2022 permission, which permitted a side extension of the same footprint, was a material consideration that outweighed the modest height increase and justified compliance with the development plan policies on character and living conditions.
