Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 7 Wilderness Road with particular reference to outlook and light

What decided it

The proposed two-storey extension would be overbearing and harmful to the outlook from the closest first floor window of 7 Wilderness Road due to its height, depth and proximity, and would likely reduce daylight and sunlight to an unacceptable degree.
