Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the first-floor rear extension on the existing dwelling and the character of the area
What decided it
The limited visibility of the flat roof element from public and private viewpoints meant that its impact on character of the area did not justify refusal, and the discordant cladding could be controlled by condition.
