Removal of existing single storey rear extension and replace with new 2 storey rear extension and all associated site works

Granted

Core Planning Reasoning

The Inspector recommended that Condition No. 3 be attached to protect residential and visual amenities from significant overshadowing and visual overbearance caused by the proposed two-storey extension's scale and depth, which would set an undesirable precedent in the terrace group.
