Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether there would be a detrimental effect on the living conditions of present and future occupiers at Nos 39 and 43 Highworth Avenue in respect of proximity, loss of privacy and levels of light
- whether there would be a detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and its surroundings
What decided it
The proposal would result in an unacceptable relationship to No 43 Highworth Avenue through overbearing proximity, loss of daylight and sunlight, and a disproportionate extension that fails to respect the existing building form, thereby conflicting with Policy 58 of the Cambridge Local Plan and paragraph 130 of the NPPF.
Framework references: 130, 124
