Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the differences between the extension as built and the scheme already approved are unacceptably harmful to (i) the character and appearance of the host dwelling and its surroundings and (ii) the living conditions for adjoining and neighbouring occupiers as regards outlook and light
What decided it
The imposition of a condition requiring the external brickwork to be rendered and painted to match the host dwelling would reduce the visual impact to an acceptable level and resolve the character and appearance concerns.
The modest additional length of 0.9m and the limited impact on neighbouring living conditions, when mitigated by the rendering condition, outweighed the visual harm from the service road, allowing the appeal to be allowed.
