Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Number 59 Midgley Road, with particular regard to outlook and daylight
What decided it
The neighbours' lack of objection combined with the modest degree of increase in prominence and the pitched roof design rising away from the boundary meant the extension would not result in unduly overbearing effects or material worsening of daylight to the neighbouring property.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DS5 of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document
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.
