Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers

What decided it

The rear extension's excessive depth of more than 6m caused unacceptable overshadowing and loss of sunlight to the neighbouring property, breaching policy DMD11 and making demolition necessary, whereas the boundary walls and raised patio caused no significant harm and were granted permission.
