Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed single-storey rear extension upon the amenities of the neighbouring occupiers at no. 7 Maplecroft Lane with particular regard to any potential changes to their outlook arising from the extension's visual impact

What decided it

The proposed single-storey rear extension, although larger than the existing extension, would not result in an excessive loss of amenity or an unacceptable sense of enclosure for neighbouring occupiers at no. 7 because it would be lower than the existing side elevation across the first third of its depth and would extend above the boundary fencing by only approximately 1 m, preserving reasonable outlooks from the neighbouring property's patio doors.
