Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions for the occupiers of No 31 Bawdale Road, with particular regard to light, overshadowing and outlook
What decided it
The tall close boarded fence creates a dominant and overbearing outlook that severely restricts views from the neighbouring property, thereby failing to provide acceptable living conditions contrary to development plan policy and the Framework.
The appellant's concerns regarding anti-social behaviour do not outweigh the harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and increased sense of enclosure.
Framework references: 130
Plan policies cited: saved policy 3.2 of the Southwark Plan (2007), strategic policy 13 of the Southwark Council Core Strategy (2011)
