Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers with regard to privacy, outlook and noise and disturbance
  • whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory accommodation for its future occupants, with regard to private amenity space provision and outlook

What decided it

The combination of appropriate integration with the host building and surrounding character, effective mitigation of neighbouring amenity impacts through obscure glazed screening, and satisfactory provision of private amenity space for future occupants persuaded the Inspector that the proposal should be allowed.
