Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties in terms of sunlight, daylight and immediate outlook
  • The impact of the development on the character and appearance of the bungalow and the wider street scene

What decided it

The narrow wing section of the rear extension breached the 45-degree code and caused unacceptable harm to neighbouring outlook and privacy, whereas the full width section alone would have limited impact on character and neighbouring amenity and was therefore acceptable.
