Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbours, with regard to outlook and daylight
What decided it
The considerable height, projection and immediate proximity of the proposed wraparound extension to the shared boundaries would create an overbearing and oppressive effect that would unacceptably harm the outlook and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
The material benefit of providing improved ground floor living and bathing accommodation for a household member with mobility difficulties was outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and sense of enclosure.
