Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupants, with particular regard to outlook
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of adjacent residents, with particular regard to perceived overlooking

What decided it

The amendments to reduce and obscure-glaze first floor bedroom windows facing the neighbouring garden, combined with the provision of alternative natural light via high-level roof lights, addressed the previous Inspector's concerns about overlooking and ensured compliance with policy DC61.
