Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommends a grant of permission as the proposed development is considered to be in accordance with the Z1 zoning objective, complies with local design guidance for residential extensions, and does not seriously injure the visual or residential amenity of the area or the local ecology (badgers) subject to mitigation.
