Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of No.18 Blakemere Avenue with regard to light and outlook

What decided it

The extension's modest height, flat roof design, and the neighbouring property's spacious garden and northern orientation mean that despite breaching the 45° standard, there would be no material loss of light or unacceptable effect on outlook.
