- Cryan M
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for occupiers of the enlarged garage flat, with particular regard to daylight and outlook, privacy and the provision of defensible space, and the amount and quality of outdoor amenity space
- The effect of the proposed extension on living conditions for the occupiers of other flats at No 9 Blagdens Close, with particular regard to daylight and outlook, loss or lack of privacy, or whether it would be harmfully overbearing
What decided it
The substantial improvement in living conditions that the extension would provide to the existing lawful garage flat, which currently offers cramped and unacceptable accommodation, justified a decision contrary to the development plan.
