Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The proposal's impact on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjacent dwelling (no.22) in relation to its siting and scale
What decided it
The extension's siting and scale would create an undue sense of enclosure and overbearing impact on the neighbouring property that would not be materially improved by the proposed roof alterations, conflicting with Policy Q2 of the Lambeth Local Plan.
Any design merit from the roof alterations would not outweigh the identified harm to neighbouring living conditions
Plan policies cited: Policy Q2 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021)
