Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 20 Claremont Gardens, with particular regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for occupiers of the appeal dwelling with regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed extension would dominate the rear of the neighbouring property at No 20 due to its height, depth and proximity to the boundary, resulting in a significant loss of outlook for the neighbours, contrary to Policy H10(d) of the UDP.
