Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties at Nos 135 and 127 Lapage Street, having particular regard to privacy, overshadowing and overbearing impact
- if there is any harm arising from the aforementioned issues, whether that harm is outweighed by any need for the extension, as built, because of the personal circumstances of the appellant's family
What decided it
The extension causes demonstrable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overshadowing, loss of light, and overlooking, and this harm is not outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances, as the medical evidence lacks sufficient detail and rigour.
