Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of neighbouring residents at Silverknowes with particular regard to overlooking
What decided it
The harmful loss of privacy to users of the rear garden of Silverknowes caused by direct views from the balcony, which cannot be adequately mitigated by the planting provided or by conditions, outweighs any other considerations.
No material considerations indicate that the decision should be taken otherwise than in accordance with the development plan, which is breached by the harmful loss of privacy to neighbouring residents.
