Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area in general
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties

What decided it

The proposal responds satisfactorily to the varied character of the area and would not harm character and appearance or the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with the roof design actually improving the relationship with the adjacent property.
