Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and its surroundings
  • the living conditions of the residents of the neighbouring dwelling, The Old Chapel, with specific reference to privacy, noise & disturbance and light

What decided it

The extant permission for a balcony and terrace represented a weighty fallback position, and the proposed extensions would not result in materially greater impacts on neighbouring privacy, noise, or light than already approved.
