Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 41 First Avenue, with particular regard to overbearing and visual intrusion

What decided it

The first-floor setback positioning combined with the existing gap between properties and the considerable depth and width of the neighbouring garden ensured the extension would not result in significant visual intrusion or overbearing effect on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers.
