Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 38 Bishops Road, with particular reference to outlook and daylight
  • Character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The part first floor and part two storey side extension would significantly reduce daylight levels reaching the conservatory and living space windows at the neighbouring property (38 Bishops Road) and would be a prominent and intrusive feature in their outlook, causing unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions in conflict with Policy SD14 of the JCS.

Plan policies cited: Policy SD14 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031, Policy A9 of the emerging Gloucester City Plan, Policy SD4 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031
