Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed rear extension on the character and appearance of the host building and its surroundings
- the effect on the living conditions for the occupiers of No. 11 as regards outlook and light
What decided it
The combination of the extension's length matching an adjacent building, its back garden location with no public visibility, and the existing boundary conditions meaning no material harm to neighbours' outlook or light, meant the development would not harmfully conflict with relevant design and amenity policies.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 7.4 of the Ealing Development Management DPD 2013Policy D4 of the London Plan 2021Policy 7B of the Ealing Development Management DPD 2013Policy 5.10 of the Ealing VariationPolicy 1.1(e)(i) of the Ealing Core Strategy 2012Policy 3.8 of the Ealing Core Strategy 2012Policy D3 of the London PlanPolicy D4 of the London Plan
