Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Its effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents
What decided it
The existing house already breaches the 45-degree splay line, and the combination of site topography, existing screening, and the reduced scale of the revised proposal means the extension would not have an unacceptable impact on neighbouring residential amenities.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CP12DM1Appendix 2Policy 2
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
