Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the locality with particular regard to the cumulative additions of all of the elements of the proposal

What decided it

The limited street-facing visibility of the rear elements, the subordinate nature of the side extension, and the re-balancing of the roof form between the pair of semi-detached dwellings meant the cumulative additions did not result in unacceptable harm to the street scene or character of the existing dwelling.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy D3 of The London Plan (2021)Policy DM1 of the Harrow Council Development Management Policies
