Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on living conditions, with specific regard to whether it would dominate and appear overbearing to the occupants of No 8 Prospect Place

What decided it

The proposed extension would not appear more dominant and overbearing to neighbouring occupants than the existing structures already visible from their windows, and therefore would not unacceptably harm living conditions.
