Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the living conditions of the occupants of 19 Sandilands, with particular reference to outlook
What decided it
The adequate separation distance between the properties, the spaciousness of the plots, the multiple windows providing outlook, and the likely continuation of boundary fencing meant that the extension would not unacceptably harm the living conditions of the neighbouring occupants despite not meeting the 45 degree angle guideline.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DM10SP4D3
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
