Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of Bedroom 2 with particular regard to light and outlook
  • the effect of the extension on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The development would not provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of Bedroom 2 due to poor light, limited outlook and overshadowing, conflicting with development plan policies requiring appropriate outlook and sufficient daylight and sunlight.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of The London Plan (2021), Policy D6 of The London Plan (2021), Policy H5 of the Royal Greenwich Local Plan Core Strategy with Detailed Policies (2014), Policy DH1 of the Royal Greenwich Local Plan Core Strategy with Detailed Policies (2014), Policy DH(a) of the Royal Greenwich Local Plan Core Strategy with Detailed Policies (2014)
