Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The development does not cause harm to the host building or surrounding area due to its modest scale, appropriate fenestration and cladding design, and limited visibility from the public realm, thereby according with the development plan.
