Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of 17 Emery Street, with particular regards to light and outlook

What decided it

The proposed extension would cause a significant enclosing effect and reduction in light and outlook to the neighbouring window at 17 Emery Street, adversely affecting the living conditions of its occupiers, which cannot be adequately mitigated.

The benefits to the appellant's living conditions were outweighed by the significant adverse effects on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property through loss of light and outlook.
