Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the revised scheme on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether satisfactory living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the revised scheme, having regard to outdoor space

What decided it

The revised scheme's hipped roof design and brick exterior would integrate appropriately into the residential character of the area without material harm, and the total outdoor amenity space provided would be adequate for future occupiers.
