Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extensions on the living conditions of occupiers of the appeal dwelling with respect to amenity space, light, outlook and privacy (Appeals A & B)
- The effect of the proposed extensions on the living conditions of occupiers of 3 & 5 Church Road and 7 Bramalea Close with respect to outlook, privacy and light (Appeal A)
- The effect on trees on land adjoining the site (Appeals A & B)
What decided it
Appeal A was dismissed because the first-floor extension would cause significant loss of natural light to the main living room and materially harmful overlooking and loss of light to neighbouring properties, whereas Appeal B was allowed because the single-storey design with incorporated rooflight would maintain adequate light levels without material harm to neighbours.
