Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of adjacent properties at Bullingham Mansions and 31 and 32 Campden Grove with particular reference to light spillage and outlook
- Whether the proposal would achieve the appropriate fire safety standards
What decided it
The technical light spill assessment demonstrating that light levels at neighbouring windows would remain below recommended maximums, combined with the material improvements to the scheme design compared to the previously dismissed proposal, meant the extension would not cause unacceptable impacts on neighbouring living conditions.
