Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents at 27 Lytham Road with particular regard to outlook, sense of enclosure and shadowing
What decided it
The realistic prospect of a GPDO-compliant 3m extension producing substantially similar effects on neighbouring amenity provided sufficient justification to allow the appeal despite the moderate adverse effect on outlook and sense of enclosure.
The moderate adverse effect on neighbouring living conditions was outweighed by the fallback position of a GPDO-compliant extension producing comparable effects, justifying departure from the development plan.
