Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties, with particular reference to outlook, access to light and the potential for overshadowing
What decided it
The proposal would create an undue sense of enclosure and diminish outlook for neighbouring residents, and cause overshadowing and light loss, in conflict with Policy DM1(iv) and Core Strategy Policies KP2 and CP4.
The improvement to family accommodation at the appeal property was outweighed by the harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through loss of outlook, daylight and sunlight.
