Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposals on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No.6 and No.8 Stoney Springs Mill, with particular regard to privacy, overlooking and loss of daylight/sunlight
What decided it
The proposed extension to the existing decking area would result in unjustified loss of privacy and significant overlooking harm to neighbouring occupiers, contrary to Saved Policy BE2 of the RCUDP.
Although the single storey extension would cause no harm, the harm caused by the proposed decking extension to neighbouring living conditions outweighed any benefit and was contrary to the development plan taken as a whole.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Saved Policy BE2 of the Replacement Calderdale Unitary Development Plan 2006
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 145
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.
