Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the extension on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on the living conditions for the occupiers of Nos. 5 and 7 Gordon Road as regards daylight/sunlight

What decided it

The absence of any view of the extension from the public realm removes any conflict with policies regarding harm to character and appearance, and the lack of neighbour objections combined with physical constraints undermines the daylight/sunlight concerns.
