- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to privacy, noise, daylight, sunlight and outlook
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of privacy and noise disturbance, which outweighed any benefits to the appellant.
The benefits of providing an additional escape route, enhanced garden access and improved energy efficiency to the appellant were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
