Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development upon the amenity of neighbouring users at 3 Station Road

What decided it

The proposed extension would not have an unacceptable overbearing effect on neighbouring users at 3 Station Road because the affected boundary represents only one quarter of the garden perimeter and main habitable areas would retain adequate access to sunlight and daylight.
