Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and wider terrace
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 106 Durham Hill, with particular reference to outlook from the rear garden
What decided it
The reduction in extension depth to 5 metres combined with removal of the shed, together with the topography and existing context of similar extensions in the area, meant the development would not harmfully affect character and appearance or significantly harm the outlook of the neighbouring property.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D3 of the London Plan 2021Policy 15 of the Lewisham Core Strategy 2011Policy 31 of the Lewisham Development Management Local Plan 2014
