Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers

What decided it

The retained outbuilding's height and scale accord with the existing pattern of rear outbuildings in the terrace, meaning it would not harm the character of the host dwelling or adversely affect neighbouring living conditions.
