Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed single storey rear extension on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupants at No.25 with regard to light and whether it would create a sense of enclosure
What decided it
The 6m depth of the proposed extension would cause undue harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants at No.25 through loss of daylight and sunlight and creation of an unneighbourly sense of enclosure, contrary to Policy DH(b).
The private benefits to the appellant (improved rear garden and accommodation) and the neutral design quality were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions through loss of light and sense of enclosure.
