QBD 17 December 1987. Application for occupiers of bungalow (B), under the Town and Country Planning Act 1971 s245, to quash a decision of the Inspector (I) regarding planning permission for a dwelling house extension. Consent for the extension had originally been refused by the Council on the ground that its close proximity to two windows of B's bungalow would cause substantial loss of light and affect the amenities of B. An appeal was determined by I, who concluded that loss of amenity was insufficient to constitute a specific planning objection.
