Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Its effect on highway safety

What decided it

The modest scale and simple form of the extension, combined with matching materials and the retention of garden land, meant it would not harm character and appearance, and the loss of an awkward parking space would not harm highway safety.
