Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the basement flat provides acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to size, daylight matters and outlook
- The availability of cycle storage, waste storage and collection and water conservation measures
- The effect of the single storey extension and roof terrace on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to outlook, privacy, and daylight/sunlight matters
What decided it
The basement flat's poor daylight and bleak outlook from lightwells, combined with the extension's unacceptably harmful overbearing effect on neighbouring outlook, rendered the development contrary to amenity protection policies and unacceptable.
