Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on living conditions for neighbouring residents with particular regard to overshadowing of No 11 Firbank
What decided it
The proposed extension would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents at No 11 Firbank through increased overshadowing of habitable room windows, which could not be mitigated by the current occupiers' stated acceptance of the scheme.
