Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect the proposed two storey rear extension would have on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties, No. 26 The Poplars and No. 7 Hymers Close
What decided it
The proposed two storey rear extension would be overbearing and dominant in relation to No. 26 The Poplars, creating an unacceptable sense of enclosure, surveillance and increased overshadowing that would significantly harm the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV1 of the East Riding Local Plan 2012-2029, Strategic Document (2016)
