Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupants of 19 Woodland Avenue with particular regard to outlook and light

What decided it

The limited depth, set back, and tapering design of the extension, combined with the angled relationship between the properties and the orientation of windows, means the proposal would not harmfully affect the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with regard to outlook and light.
