Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommended granting permission, concluding that the development is modest in scale, compatible with the residential zoning and Architectural Conservation Area status, and would not negatively impact the amenities of neighbouring properties through overlooking or overshadowing.

- The proposed solar panels and extension design are consistent with national policy and local development standards, presenting no substantiated risk to public health or residential privacy.
