Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of No.6 Cranberry Close by reason of overbearing and overshadowing
  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety by reason of insufficient parking

What decided it

The limited overbearing and overshadowing effects on the neighbouring property's driveway and outbuildings rather than main living areas, combined with adequate off-street and on-street parking capacity in the small cul-de-sac, meant neither main issue presented unacceptable harm.
