Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Number 40 Cranwich Road, with regard to outlook

What decided it

The scale, height, depth and proximity of the extension result in an overbearing structure that unduly dominates the outlook from the neighbouring property's windows, causing harm to the living conditions of its occupiers that outweighs the appellant's personal circumstances.

The personal circumstances and functional benefits of the extension were outweighed by the harm to the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook and overbearing effect
