Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to the outlook from the front of 14 The Wayne Way
What decided it
The relatively small difference in projection compared to the approved scheme, combined with the small breaches of the 45-degree line test and the preservation of the principal outlook from the neighbouring property, meant that the development would not harmfully impact character, appearance or living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS03 of the Leicester City Core Strategy (2014)Policy PS10 of the City of Leicester Local Plan 1996-2016 (2006)
- National Planning Policy Framework
