Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of both the host dwelling and the adjoining property, No. 1 Queens Walk

What decided it

The precedent of a similar two-storey side extension granted on an identical dwelling opposite (No. 1 Kempton Close), combined with the extension's close integration with existing design elements and modest proportions, demonstrated that the proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance despite the loss of symmetry with the adjoining property.
