Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions for the occupiers of No. 3 Mytten Close as regards privacy and outlook

What decided it

The proposed extension would have a negligible effect on the privacy and outlook of the neighbouring occupiers due to its rearward position relative to the neighbour's rear wall, the distance of 2.2m from the boundary, and the combined screening effect of existing boundary features and vegetation.
