Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommended the omission of Condition No. 9, concluding that the proposed first-floor extension length (5.96m) would not significantly impact the residential amenities of the neighbouring property at No. 45 'The Rise' in terms of overshadowing, loss of daylight, or appearing overbearing.

- Shadow studies demonstrate that the reduction in extension length required by the Planning Authority would result in negligible improvements to the daylight or overshadowing of the adjoining property.
- The proposed development is consistent with the residential zoning objectives for the area and aligns with Board precedent where similar restrictive conditions on extension lengths were previously removed.
