Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the residential occupiers of No 62, with particular regard to outlook and light

What decided it

The two-storey side extension would be overbearing and would significantly diminish outlook and result in loss of light and sunlight to the neighbouring property No 62, causing significant harm to residential amenity.

The proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh that conflict.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy GN3 of the West Lancashire Local Plan 2012-2027 Adopted October 2013

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
