Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development, and in particular the mansard roof extension on the character and appearance of the existing house and the street scene
- The effect of the proposed two storey extension on the living conditions of adjoining neighbours, with particular reference to outlook and light
What decided it
The proposed rear outrigger would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbours at No 252 through loss of outlook, sense of enclosure, and loss of light, conflicting with Policy P56 of the Southwark Plan 2022 and paragraph 130(f) of the NPPF.
