Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and area

What decided it

The significant existing variation in roof forms, heights, materials and design within the street scene means the proposed extension would not appear uncharacteristically large or substantially different from other dwellings, and its limited visibility from public spaces means it would not harm the character and appearance of the area.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
