Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area

What decided it

The existing garage's forward projection and the appeal property's position at the end of the terrace meant the proposed extension would not materially disrupt the wider rhythm of development or appear visually intrusive in the context of a street scene already containing various alterations and extensions.
