Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted, having regard to the effects of the proposal on the amenity of the occupiers of 35 Kingshill Avenue, with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The proposal would result in a harmful sense of enclosure and restrict light to the neighbouring property's rear elevation and patio area due to the extension's depth, proximity, height amplified by topography, and infringement of the SPD's 45-degree guidance.
