The landowner applied for planning permission to erect an extension. The Inspector rejected the application on the basis that the privacy and outlook of the neighbouring property would be adversely affected. His inspection had been limited, and had incorrectly thought that the neighbour’s land included a patio area when it was in fact a flat roof. The land owner appealed.
Held: The error was marginal in effect. The view was tentative, and the inspector had properly taken into account the effect of the proposed development on the neighbour’s property. Appeal dismissed.
