Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with specific regard to the effects on outlook, daylight and sunlight to the closest first floor window on the rear elevation of No 47 Greenbrook Drive
What decided it
The proposed extension, despite being visible from the neighbouring property's window, would not be of such scale as to appear dominant, create a tunnelling effect, or result in unacceptable reductions in outlook, daylight or sunlight to the neighbouring occupiers.
