Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 77 Courtenay Road, with particular regard to outlook and sense of enclosure, and sunlight

What decided it

The existing side elevation of the outrigger at No 75 already heavily influences the outlook from the neighbouring window, such that the proposed extension would not materially worsen living conditions regarding outlook, enclosure, or sunlight.
