Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers at 14 Royal Oak Road with particular regard to outlook, sunlight and daylight
What decided it
The proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook, sunlight and daylight, despite breaching the 45-degree code guidance, because the large rear garden and limited scale of the extension would not materially worsen the existing situation.
