Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area in regard to the rear extension and the rear dormer
- the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at 3 Monkfrith Avenue with regard to light and outlook
- the effect on trees within the rear garden and nearby street trees on De Bohun Avenue
What decided it
The limited projection of 1.4m beyond the neighbouring property's rear elevation, combined with the north-east orientation and existing good light and outlook, meant the proposal would not cause significant harm to neighbouring living conditions despite non-compliance with detailed policy requirements.
