Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 28 Oaklands Avenue with particular regard to daylight, sunlight and visual impact
  • Whether the proposal would incorporate adequate fire safety standards

What decided it

The overbearing visual impact of the proposed rear extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjacent property at 28 Oaklands Avenue, which materially and unacceptably detracted from their amenity.
