Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Number 5 Standbridge Way, with regards to outlook

What decided it

The proposed rear extension would harm the living conditions of the occupiers of Number 5 Standbridge Way by appearing to loom above and overbear their rear outlook, contrary to the development plan policies protecting residential amenity.

Plan policies cited: Black Country Core Strategy (2011) Policy ENV3, Sandwell Site Allocations and Delivery Development Plan Document (2012) Policy EOS9
