Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the rear extension on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 331 and 335 Dunkery Road by way of the provision of natural light and outlook
- the effect of the rear extension on the character and appearance of the host property
What decided it
The fallback position under permitted development rights, whereby a similar extension could lawfully be constructed without planning permission, was a material consideration of significant weight that outweighed the identified harm to neighbouring living conditions and the host property's character and appearance.
