Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted, having regard to the effect of the proposed development on the amenity of 27 Picketts with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposed extension would unacceptably harm the outlook from the rear garden of the adjoining property at 27 Picketts by effectively enclosing it on all sides, contrary to the requirements for prior approval under the GPDO.
