Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the complex of buildings it is part of, and the area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, odour, and noise and disturbance
What decided it
The modest scale, discrete rear location, simple design and low roof height of the extension, combined with conditions protecting neighbouring living conditions, ensured the proposal would have an acceptable effect on character and appearance and would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring amenity.
