Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would result in an overbearing impact on, and unacceptable overshadowing to, the occupiers of No. 42 Oriel Grove
What decided it
The side extension would be confined in its impact to No. 42's side passage area rather than its main usable garden or amenity space, and the higher ground level and existing rear build line of No. 42 would further mitigate any overbearing or overshadowing effects.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D6 of the CSPMP
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.
