Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupier at no. 2 Hawes Avenue
  • Whether the requirements of the notice are unreasonably excessive
  • Whether the time for compliance is unreasonably short

What decided it

The extension would cause unacceptable loss of light and an overbearing effect on the neighbouring property, contrary to the development plan, and a previous Inspector had already rejected the same development on identical grounds with no material change in circumstances.
