Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of No 50 Green Lane with particular regard to daylight, sunlight and outlook
What decided it
The significant harm to the outlook and sense of enclosure experienced by the occupiers of No 50 Green Lane from the proposed extension, which would not be outweighed by the modest housing delivery benefits in the planning balance.
The modest social and economic benefits of delivering one additional one-bedroom home were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers in respect of outlook, such that the tilted balance did not favour the grant of permission.
