Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development provides an adequate standard of amenity for the occupiers of the dwellinghouse, specifically in relation to garden space
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring dwelling at 10 St Johns Road, specifically in relation to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The Inspector found that the extension did not cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of either the occupiers of No 8 or the neighbouring occupiers at No 10, allowing planning permission to be granted for it.
