Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The extension would cross the 45-degree line from the neighbouring property's rear window and, due to its length and proximity to the shared boundary, would cause harmful reduction in light levels and create an oppressive outlook for the neighbouring occupiers.

- Development plan policies
- Unitary Development Plan (2005) paragraph 3.14CUnitary Development Plan (2005) paragraphs 8.39-8.4345 Degree Code Supplementary Planning Guidance (2006)
