Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension on the living conditions of occupiers of 1 Strawflower Road and 98 Buttercup Lane, with regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The site-specific relationships, including the intervening separation gap, existing boundary treatment, hipped roof design, and the extension not projecting beyond the existing rear elevation, meant that despite falling short of SPD guidance on one boundary, the proposal would not harmfully affect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EV/1Policy H/17Policy CS2Policy DS5
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
