Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development provides adequate natural light in all habitable rooms of the dwellinghouses

What decided it

The generous size of existing windows on the building and the ability of light to penetrate through tree branches, combined with the submitted daylight assessments demonstrating compliance with BRE guidelines, established that adequate natural light would be provided to all habitable rooms despite the proximity of Ambley Wood.
