Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 21 Brook Holloway, with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The separation distance of approximately 4.5m between the proposed two storey extension and the neighbouring conservatory, combined with the existing overshadowing from the boundary fence and hedge, and the extension's compliance with the 45 degree code, meant the proposal would not result in significant loss of light or overbearing effect on neighbouring outlook.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy L1 of the Dudley Borough Development Strategy (2017)Policy S6 of the Dudley Borough Development Strategy (2017)Policy ENV3 of the Black Country Core Strategy (2011)
