Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area

What decided it

The stepped back design of the first floor extension and its limited visual prominence from neighbouring properties and the public domain, combined with the legibility of the original building form, meant the development would not significantly harm character and appearance.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy LP 28
