Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal provides acceptable living conditions for existing and future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of amenity space
  • whether the development exposes existing and neighbouring occupiers to an unacceptable fire safety risk

What decided it

The extension results in an unacceptable loss of outdoor amenity space and exposes occupiers to unacceptable fire safety risks through combustible materials and proximity to neighbouring properties.
