Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions in neighbouring properties, with particular regard to the outlook from, and availability of natural light to, 243 Violet Lane

What decided it

The proposed extensions, by virtue of their limited height, offset positioning, design form, and the context of the already constrained outlook from the neighbouring presbytery office, would not result in a materially harmful impact on neighbouring living conditions or a significant loss of natural light.
