Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the raised rear patio and garden and the boundary wall on the living conditions of the occupants of 79 Grenville Gardens, with regards to privacy, sunlight and daylight
  • The effect of the raised rear patio and garden and the boundary wall on surface water runoff

What decided it

The height and position of the boundary wall alongside the raised patio and garden materially reduced sunlight and daylight to the neighbouring property and created an unacceptable sense of enclosure, combined with the lack of permeable surfaces and sustainable drainage provision.
