Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the external staircase on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers, having particular regard to overlooking

What decided it

The external staircase results in direct views into adjoining rear gardens through frequent day-to-day use, causing detrimental overlooking that harms neighbours' living conditions and privacy, contrary to development plan policies requiring high standards of privacy.
