Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the existing building and surrounding area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to overbearing, overshadowing and loss of light
What decided it
The proposed two-storey rear extension would have a harmful effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing, overshadowing and loss of light, particularly to the kitchen window of No.42 and the rear-facing windows of No.46, conflicting with development plan policies requiring regard to neighbour amenity.
Plan policies cited: Policy GD8 of the Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031, Policy H5 of the Medbourne Neighbourhood Plan
