Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect that varying the conditions would have on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- the effect that varying the conditions would have on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to the privacy of the occupiers of 106 Woodfield Road
What decided it
The removal of condition 3 was justified because the proposed materials, whilst modern, would sit comfortably within the context of the historic terrace and comply with NPPF paragraph 135 on sympathetic design; the removal of condition 4 was justified because the extension design would reduce rather than increase overlooking to the neighbouring property.
Framework references: 135
