Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect the first-floor rear extension element of the development would have on the living conditions of the occupiers of 3 Ashbourne Terrace, with particular reference to outlook

What decided it

The first-floor rear extension would create an overbearing and oppressive visual intrusion immediately outside the neighbouring property's first-floor window, harming living conditions in conflict with the development plan, with no material considerations to outweigh this harm.
