Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- The living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The limited scale of the proposed roof terrace, combined with the visual lightness of the glazed panels and the existing character of the rear elevation with multiple outriggers and extensions, means the development would not cause material harm to character, appearance or neighbouring living conditions.
