Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the two-storey rear extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with respect to their privacy
What decided it
The two-storey rear extension would create direct overlooking of the neighbouring rear garden at an unacceptably close distance, markedly reducing privacy and failing to accord with Policies 10 and 1 of the development plan, whereas the single-storey front extension would comply with all relevant policies.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 10 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 1 (2014)Policy 1 of Local Plan Part 2 (2019)
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.
