Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal development on the living conditions of existing occupiers of neighbouring properties with regard to overlooking

What decided it

The full-height glazed door and balcony enable occupiers to stand and walk on the balcony with unobstructed views into neighbouring courtyards and properties, creating a significant increase in overlooking that is unacceptable and harms the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
