Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted, having particular regard to the amenity of No 26 and loss of light
What decided it
The separation distance between the proposed enlarged part and the neighbouring property's side elevation, together with the orientation of windows serving the neighbour's living rooms, meant that the additional overshadowing would not result in significant loss of light or harm to amenity.
