Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect the proposed extensions would have on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and of the local area, adjacent to the Lakes Estate Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed extensions would maintain symmetry and visual hierarchy in the front elevation and would not unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the dwelling or surrounding area, including the setting of the adjacent conservation area.

The benefits of improved security and replacement of an existing security building, combined with the visual softening effect of boundary screen fencing and compliance with design policies, outweighed any concerns about the extensions.
