Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that the proposed development would have on the living conditions of the occupiers of 65 Downs View Road regarding outlook

What decided it

The proposed two-storey rear extension would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of 65 Downs View Road through its oppressive and overbearing effect on outlook, contrary to the Development Plan.

The conflict with the Development Plan was not outweighed by other considerations in the case.
