Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the rear ground floor extension on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at no.7
What decided it
The rear ground floor extension, despite its length and height, does not cause material harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents due to the inclusion of glazed elements, reduced visual perception of the wall, and only marginal loss of daylight, thereby complying with Policy P14 of the Solihull Local Plan.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy P14
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 225
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.
