Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of the attached dwelling at 4 Ellenborough Close, with particular regard to whether the development would be overbearing, daylight and overshadowing

What decided it

The modest scale, appropriate design, and setback of the first floor element, combined with the neighbouring property's open rear outlook, mean there would be no unduly oppressive sense of enclosure, unacceptable overshadowing, or reduction in daylight to the adjacent dwelling.
