Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development has an adverse effect on the creation and maintenance of balanced and sustainable communities
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants
What decided it
The proposal as submitted on the plans shows the extension as additional living space not a bedroom, and therefore does not conflict with policies seeking to maintain balanced communities or harm neighbours' living conditions.
