Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 17 Stiles Close with particular regard to outlook; loss of light and overshadowing

What decided it

The extension's limited forward projection, lower ridge height than the main dwelling, and greater setback from the common boundary compared to the existing house mean it would not cause significant harm to neighbouring living conditions regarding outlook, light or overshadowing.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy GD8 of the Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031 (2019)Policy SD1 of the Broughton Astley Neighbourhood Plan 2013-2028

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.
