Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
  • The living conditions of neighbouring residents, with regard to outlook

What decided it

The pergola's open form, modest height relative to existing structures, and location to the rear of the property mean it would have an acceptable effect on character and appearance and would not harm neighbouring outlook.
