Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property at number 56 Anson Road, with regard to daylight, sunlight and outlook
- the effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of existing flats within the appeal site, notably Flat C (58 Anson Road), Flat 2 (60 Anson Road) and Flat 3 (60 Anson Road), with regard to daylight, sunlight and outlook
What decided it
The proposed extension's height of 3.5m, exceeding the SPD guidance of 3m maximum for flat roof extensions on boundaries, combined with the lower level of the neighbouring garden, would create an unacceptable overbearing impact and loss of daylight and sunlight to the neighbouring property, and the inadequate daylight and outlook provided to existing flats within the appeal site through the proposed lightwells.
