Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwellings, terrace and the area

What decided it

The proposed extensions, although not fully compliant with SPD guidance on width, would not result in harm to character and appearance in the particular context of this site due to screening and the visual relationship with the adjacent multistorey block.
