Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of No 17 Larkfield Way, with respect to overshadowing and loss of outlook

What decided it

The proposed extension would fall 3.4 metres short of the Council's 12-metre separation distance guidance and, combined with ground level changes, would create an unacceptable enclosing mass causing loss of outlook and overshadowing to the neighbouring property's windows and rear garden.
