Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension on living conditions for the occupiers of the neighbouring property at No 63 Birk Lane, with particular regard to outlook, overshadowing, and whether or not it would be overbearing
What decided it
The negligible additional impact of the proposed extension compared to the previously approved 2021 permission, combined with the single-storey height and shallow roof pitch limiting overshadowing and overbearing effects, meant the proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions.
