Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the host building and area
- The living conditions for the neighbouring occupiers of No 25 Sunny Gardens Road, with particular regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The modest flat roof design and subservient appearance of the extension, combined with the wide spacing between properties and the absence of harmful effects on neighbouring light and outlook, justified granting planning permission despite the breach of the 3m depth guidance.
