Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on living conditions at the next door property, Keildon, in terms of an overbearing effect
What decided it
The fallback position of the already-permitted scheme, which would have a substantially similar impact, combined with the mitigation of the overbearing effect through the extension's location and the limited use of the affected garden area as an amenity space, led the Inspector to conclude the proposal would not unduly harm living conditions at the neighbouring property.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BF1 of the Binfield Neighbourhood PlanPolicy CS7 of the Core Strategysaved Policy EN20 of the Bracknell Forest Borough Local Plan
