Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the rear first floor extension on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to light and outlook.
What decided it
The limited length and positioning of the first floor extension, combined with the sunlight and daylight assessment demonstrating only limited and acceptable effects on the neighbouring property, meant the development would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- WLP8.29
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 57
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.
