Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The living conditions of the occupiers of 261 Smorrall Lane with particular regard to outlook and light to the outdoor amenity space to the rear of the property

What decided it

The modest scale, height and design of the extensions, combined with the specific site circumstances including the neighbouring lean-to structure and pergola, meant the development would not harm character and appearance or the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
