Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook, privacy and light

What decided it

The modest scale and design of the extensions, combined with their spatial relationship to neighbouring properties and the mitigation provided by conditions, means the proposal would not unacceptably harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
