Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of varying the condition to retain the first floor flank window as non-obscure on the living conditions of the occupiers of 73 Chalkwell Esplanade, having regard to privacy
What decided it
The flank window is positioned forward of the neighbour's terrace and balcony such that views would be limited, and inter-visibility between properties is a common and accepted feature of the seaside esplanade environment.
