Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the impact of the proposed extension on the amenities of the neighbouring property at No. 42 Tumblewood Road with regard to outlook
What decided it
The step-in design creating a space of over 2m to the boundary and total gap of nearly 4m to the neighbour's conservatory, combined with existing hedge screening, meant the extension would not cause significant loss of outlook or be overbearing.
