Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not prior approval should be granted having regard to the effect of the proposed development on the amenity of the adjoining premises
What decided it
The L-shaped design of the extension, its distance of separation from the boundary, and the limited and early-morning-only overshadowing meant the proposal would not have an unacceptable impact on the amenity of the adjoining premises.
