Core Planning Reasoning

The Inspector recommends the removal of Condition 2, concluding that the proposed first-floor extension is a modest and reasonable development that would not result in adverse overshadowing or overbearing impacts on neighboring properties, particularly given the site orientation and proposed setbacks.

  • Condition 2, which required a 1m reduction in the depth of the first-floor extension, is considered unwarranted and should be removed from the grant of permission.
