Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed rear extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, 24 and 28 Chamber House Road, having particular regard to outlook and daylight
- if there is any harm under the first main issue, whether such harm is outweighed by the personal circumstances put forward by the appellant
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and daylight, combined with the absence of evidence that the proposed scheme was the only means of achieving the appellant's care objectives, outweighed the personal circumstances advanced.
