Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development upon the living conditions for the neighbouring occupiers of No 178 Wood Lane with particular regard to daylight and outlook
  • the character and appearance of the host building and area

What decided it

The excessive height, depth and bulk of the unauthorised extension in close proximity to the boundary with No 178 Wood Lane caused unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions through loss of daylight and outlook, which could not be remedied by the appellant's proposed minor modifications.
