Planning appeal 3260923 at 3 Hillfield Road, London, NW6 1QD (London Borough of Camden) was dismissed on 13 July 2021 by Inspector Deane G, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the ground floor flat at No 5 with particular regard to outlook, sense of enclosure and light.
a 6 meters rear extension under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, Schedule 2, part 1 A.1(g). Ground at rear is raised, so the new extension will be similar in height as the current fence with no loss of amenity
