Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 28 Mavis Lane with particular regard to overlooking and a loss of privacy to the garden area
What decided it
The combination of the extension's subservient design and positioning, together with the existing screening features and established pattern of mutual overlooking between the properties, meant the proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to character, appearance or neighbouring living conditions.
