Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions at 42 Berry Lane, with particular regard to outlook and the availability of natural light

What decided it

The fallback position of the prior approval scheme already under construction provided significant weight to allow the appeal, as refusal would not prevent the same impact on neighbouring living conditions.
