Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 38 Willow Road with regards to outlook and sense of enclosure
What decided it
The height and massing of the proposed rear extension would unacceptably dominate the outlook and create an overbearing sense of enclosure for the neighbouring occupants at 38 Willow Road, conflicting with development plan policies and NPPF guidance on amenity.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021)Policy DM10 of the Kingston Core Strategy (2012)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135Paragraph 124
