Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition requiring an opaque 1.7 metre high privacy screen along the eastern side of the balcony is necessary in regard to local and national planning policies and in the interests of the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to overlooking and privacy
What decided it
The mature landscaping, boundary fence, and land level changes would screen views sufficiently that significant overlooking would not occur to an unacceptable degree, making the privacy screen condition unnecessary.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Saved Policy HS11 of the Wirral Unitary Development Plan (Including Minerals and Waste Policies), 2000Supplementary Planning Guidance 11 (SPG11) House Extensions, 2004
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 56
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
