Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and area
What decided it
The imposition of a condition requiring approval of external materials and balustrade details before demolition works would ensure that the proposed development would not unduly harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling, thereby allowing the appeal to be allowed.
The benefits of making effective use of land and creating additional floorspace within an existing plot within a settlement, subject to appropriate materials being used, outweighed any concerns about the initial material proposals, which could be controlled by condition.

- Development plan policies
