Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the building and the surrounding area, including the Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to privacy and daylight
- whether the proposed development would comply with safeguarding to protected species, with particular regard to bats
What decided it
The modest scale and orientation of the proposed annex, combined with its limited visibility and the varied character of existing built form in the cul-de-sac, meant it would not harm character and appearance or living conditions, and the bat survey work undertaken was proportionate to the low-potential risk identified.
