Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the property and its surroundings
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of number 121 Sweetcroft Lane, with particular regard to outlook and natural light
- whether the proposal would be at risk of flooding or would increase flood risk elsewhere
What decided it
The material considerations of the extension's rear location, subordination through flat roof design, and retained garden space outweighed the policy conflict, and the absence of a Flood Risk Assessment was not justified as grounds for refusal given the pragmatic site circumstances.
The conflict with Policy DMHD 1 regarding extension depth was outweighed by material considerations demonstrating no harmful effect on character and appearance, and the absence of a Flood Risk Assessment was not justified given the modest scale and floor level of the extension.
