Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos. 15 and 17 Poulton Avenue with particular regards to outlook

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the outlook and living conditions of the occupiers of Nos. 15 and 17 Poulton Avenue caused by the proximity and scale of the proposed extension outweighed the appellant's need for additional domestic space.

The benefits of providing additional accommodation for the appellant's domestic needs did not outweigh the unacceptable harm to the outlook and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
