Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal on the living conditions of existing occupiers, having particular regard to the effects on No. 2 Shawford Gardens and No.2 Shawford Road
What decided it
The oblique nature of views from the proposed extension, combined with intervening physical features and the limited projection and stepping away of the extension, means that neither neighbouring property would suffer undue prejudice to living conditions despite the closer proximity of the new window.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS41 of the Bournemouth Local Plan: Core Strategy (2012)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
