Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to light and outlook

What decided it

The proposed conservatory, whilst exceeding the 45-degree guideline, would not materially harm neighbouring living conditions due to the neighbours' orientation, existing boundary features, and design mitigation through obscured glass panels, and the brickwork colour differences are acceptable in the context of existing street variation.
