Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether suitable living conditions would be provided for the future occupants of No 6 Allington Close, with regard to private amenity space and outlook

What decided it

The extension's subservient design, retention of the area's staggered layout, and provision of adequate private and public amenity space despite falling below the SPG2 guideline justified allowing the appeal.
