Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers in terms of its potential to both overshadow and appear overbearing
What decided it
The sloping roof design that slopes away from the boundary to the neighbouring property would not significantly increase overshadowing or appear more overbearing, and would not materially impact natural light to the neighbouring secondary bedroom window.

- Development plan policies
- Policy DP7 of the Tandridge Local Plan: Part2 – detailed Policies 2014-2029Policy CSP18 of the Tandridge District Core Strategy
