Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to the loss of privacy and noise and disturbance
- If any harm and any conflict with the development plan would arise in respect of the first main issue, whether there are any material considerations to indicate that the appeal should be allowed, with particular reference to the CLEUD and the December 2023 permission
What decided it
The fallback position of an extant planning permission for a substantially identical extension and the existing lawful use of the roof as a terrace, confirmed by Certificate of Lawfulness, carried sufficient weight to outweigh the conflict with the development plan regarding loss of privacy.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CL5Policy N3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135Paragraph 56
