Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for existing and future occupiers of 41 Tollgate Drive, with regard to the provision of private outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The retained garden space of approximately 40m2 would be adequate and functional for passive and active pursuits proportionate to the property's use as a family home, given the site context and the fact that neighbouring properties had similar extensions with equivalent amenity space.
The modest reduction in garden space was outweighed by the contextual factors demonstrating adequacy of the retained space and the fallback position of the extant 2011 permission.
