Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 6 and 7 Belvedere Close, having regard to privacy impacts
What decided it
The combination of the play equipment's design for younger children only, the substantial boundary landscaping screening that has developed since the original permission, and the brief and intermittent nature of any potential views from users meant that privacy impacts on neighbouring occupiers would not be materially harmful.

- Development plan policies
- Policy GEN1 of the Hart District Local Plan (Replacement) 1996 – 2006 (and First Alterations) (2009)Policy NBE9 of the Hart Local Plan (Strategy and Sites) 2032 (2020)
