Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect the extension has on the streetscene
  • The contribution the extension makes to the sustainability of the café/restaurant business carried on at the property

What decided it

The extension's functional design and good quality materials, combined with its role in maintaining business viability and the precedent of the approved external seating area in the same location, outweighed design concerns when considered against NPPF support for commercial adaptation.
