Core Planning Reasoning

The Inspector recommended the removal of Condition 3(a), which sought to omit the first-floor extension, concluding that the proposed development is sympathetic to the Protected Structure, appropriately scaled, and does not negatively impact the residential amenities of adjacent properties.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The Inspector recommends the Board direct the Planning Authority to remove Condition 3(a) and replace it with a condition requiring obscure glazing for the proposed ensuite window to the south.
