Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of No. 2 Spinneymede with particular regard to light
What decided it
The pitched roof form sloping away from the shared boundary and the translucent conservatory roof would allow sufficient daylight to enter despite afternoon sunlight reduction, and the proposal accords with the 45-degree rule test, resulting in no unacceptable impact on neighbouring living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM4
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.
