Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the outrigger extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and terrace row
- the effect of the outrigger extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of No.36 Mornington Road, with particular regard to privacy
- whether the outrigger extension would provide adequate living conditions for future residents, with particular regard to internal floor area and head height
What decided it
The outrigger extension, being substantially set back, subservient in massing, and faced with matching tiles, would accord with development plan policies on design quality and would not harmfully affect privacy or living conditions.
