Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the raised patio and its adjacent boundary fence on the living conditions for the occupiers of No. 68, with particular reference to outlook and light
What decided it
The substantial width and length of the neighbouring garden and its favourable aspect away from the dwelling significantly offset the restricted outlook and enclosure caused by the higher boundary fence.
The adverse effect on outlook and perception of enclosure was significantly offset by the substantial width and length of the neighbouring garden and the benefit of the fence preventing overlooking.
