Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight, and external amenity space
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise, disturbance, outlook, daylight and sunlight
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area, with particular regard to the proposed rear stairwell
What decided it
The proposed basement extension would not provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers due to inadequate outlook, daylight and sunlight to the proposed bedroom, conflicting with development plan policy and guidance.
The harm to living conditions of future occupiers outweighed the benefits in terms of providing improved and flexible family accommodation and facilities for a family member with health/disability conditions.
