Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring dwelling at 262 Mungo Park Road

What decided it
The substantial weight attributed to the appellant's fallback position of constructing a 6m rear extension as permitted development, which would produce identical effects on the neighbouring property, outweighed the significant harm to living conditions.
