Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, in terms of outlook and daylight
What decided it
The excessive depth of the extension combined with its proximity to the side boundary would create an incongruous addition to the property and cause an overbearing effect and loss of daylight to neighbouring occupiers, conflicting with development plan policies and the Framework.
Plan policies cited: Policy ENV3 of the Black Country Core Strategy (BCCS) (2011), Policy SAD EOS9 of the Site Allocations and Delivery Development Plan Document (SADDPD) (2012), Revised Residential Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) (2014)
