Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 36 Bernard Avenue
What decided it
The existing single-storey extension already interrupts the 45-degree guideline, meaning the proposed development would be experienced as a minor extension of an established boundary feature rather than a wholly new structure, and therefore would not result in material harm to neighbouring living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DC1Policy DC6Policy ENV8
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.
