- The effects of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- The effects of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly at 20 Litchfield Avenue having regard to visual impact and sunlight
What decided it
The extension, at a maximum depth of 6m, would be subservient to the existing dwelling and would not convey any sense of overdevelopment or appear disproportionate within its rear garden setting, and would cause no significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
