Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 34 Pytt Field, with particular reference to light and outlook
What decided it
The limited height and shallow depth of the proposed extensions, particularly the two-storey element with its flat roof design, would not significantly impinge on daylight, sunlight or outlook from the neighbouring property's wide south-facing windows, thereby preserving acceptable living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy PL2 of the Harlow Local Development Plan (December 2020)
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.
