Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjoining property, No. 7 St Julian's Road

What decided it

The proposed extension, despite its proximity to the common boundary, would not have an unacceptably overbearing impact on the adjoining property due to the retention of partial outlook, reasonable light levels, and the sloping roof design.
