Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the first floor rear extension would be an over dominant form of development that would detrimentally impact on the amenity of the neighbouring gardens and restrict the outlook of habitable rooms in houses in the adjoining road, Francis Way
What decided it
The combination of the substantial gap between the properties, the north-easterly positioning of the extension, and the absence of any significant loss of sunlight or overshadowing to the neighbouring properties outweighed the Council's amenity concerns.
