Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area
the living conditions of the neighbours at 106 Barnwood Road in terms of any overlooking

What decided it

The hipped roof design, narrower width of the extension, and limited angle of view from the proposed window ensured that the development would remain subservient to the host dwelling and would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions or the character and appearance of the area.
