Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the side extension upon the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjoining No. 57 Buckstone Avenue in terms of outlook and light

What decided it

The side extension's single storey height, stepped design, oblique visibility from the neighbouring window, and limited overshadowing effect meant it would not unduly harm the outlook or light of the adjoining property.
