Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- the adjacent occupiers' living conditions at 1 Talbot Road and at 5 Talbot Road, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The modest scale and careful positioning of the extension, combined with the constrained outlook already present in the densely developed area, meant that despite breaching the 45-degree guideline, it would not harmfully impact neighbouring living conditions or the character and appearance of the area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 7.4 of the Ealing Development Management Development Plan Document 2013Policy D3 of the London Plan 2021Policy DAA of the emerging Regulation 22 Draft Ealing Local Plan
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
