- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for its future occupiers in terms of their outlook and access
What decided it
The unique context of the appeal site, with the large pitched roof of the adjacent church and two-storey community hall, meant the substantial rear extension would not appear incongruous and would comply with design policies requiring positive relationship with urban context.
