Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposals on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area

What decided it

The technical daylight and sunlight assessment demonstrating imperceptible impact on neighbours, combined with the fallback position of extant Prior Approval for a similar 6m extension, justified allowing the appeal despite breaching the Council's 45-degree line guidance.
