Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbours

What decided it

The proximity of the proposed extension combined with the change in land level and southern orientation would cause serious harm to the living conditions of the neighbouring property through overdominance and overshadowing, conflicting with Saved Policy H14 and the Council's SPG guidance.

Development plan policies
Saved Policy H14 of the Sheffield City Council Unitary Development Plan
