Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of No 47 The Ridgeway, with particular reference to outlook and daylight
What decided it
The proposal would not cause harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through loss of outlook or daylight, and a strong fallback position exists in the form of permitted development that would result in an identical wall being retained.
The depth of the extension exceeds the Residential Design Guide guideline, but this is outweighed by the absence of harm to neighbouring living conditions and the strong fallback position of permitted development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS5 of the Local Plan Core Strategy (September 2012)Policy DM01 of the Local Plan Development Management Policies DPD (2012)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
