- Inspector
- Praine N
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the neighbouring residents of 3 West Road, with particular reference to outlook and light
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and surrounding area
What decided it
The conservatory's proximity to the shared boundary and its orientation, depth and height result in an unduly enclosing relationship and harmful loss of light to the neighbouring property's kitchen diner and garden, which cannot be outweighed by the absence of character and appearance harm.
