Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommended granting permission because the development is consistent with the 'Zone A' zoning objective to protect and improve residential amenity and would not seriously injure the amenities of the area or property in the vicinity.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed rear and side extensions are acceptable in terms of scale, massing, and design, and they comply with BRE standards for daylight and sunlight, ensuring no detrimental impact on neighboring residential amenity.
- The development will not result in a terracing effect on the streetscape due to the specific setback of No. 94 Marley Court from the rest of the terrace.
- Claims of property encroachment were dismissed as the works are proposed within the application's red line boundary, and the proposal is deemed compliant with the provisions of the County Development Plan.
