Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 16 Alders Grove, with particular regard to outlook, light, enclosure and overbearing impact

What decided it

The pergola's modest scale, setback position, lower height relative to the adjacent garage, and use of matching materials and roof form mean it appears as a compatible, subordinate feature that does not harm character and appearance or adversely affect neighbouring living conditions.
