Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the outrigger extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and terrace row
  • the effect of the outrigger extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of No.36 Mornington Road, with particular regard to privacy
  • whether the outrigger extension would provide adequate living conditions for future residents, with particular regard to internal floor area and head height

What decided it

The outrigger extension, being substantially set back, subservient in massing, and faced with matching tiles, would accord with development plan policies on design quality and would not harmfully affect privacy or living conditions.

Plan policies cited: Policy 53 of the Waltham Forest Local Plan Part 1 (2024), Policy D1 of the London Plan (2021), Policy D4 of the London Plan (2021), Policy 16 of the Waltham Forest Local Plan Part 1 (2024), Policy 48 of the Waltham Forest Local Plan Part 1 (2024), Policy 56 of the Waltham Forest Local Plan Part 1 (2024), Policy 57 of the Waltham Forest Local Plan Part 1 (2024)
