Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: whether the proposed development would comply with the permitted development requirements set by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the GPDO, with specific regard to the impact of the proposed development on the amenity of adjoining premises, with particular regards to outlook and light
- Appeal B: the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of 34 Manorford Avenue, with regards to outlook and light
What decided it
The substantial depth, mass and proximity of both proposed extensions to neighbouring properties' windows would cause unacceptable harm to outlook and daylight provision for occupiers of the adjoining dwellings, contrary to permitted development requirements and development plan policy.
