Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would have a detrimental effect on the living conditions of present and future occupiers of No 62 Hills Avenue as a result of proximity and light levels
What decided it
The fact that the Council had already granted permission for a 5.9 metre extension which would have substantially enclosed the neighbouring patio, meaning the as-built extension's additional impact on living conditions would not be substantially different from what was already permitted.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 58
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.
