Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with reference to privacy
What decided it
The balcony would significantly compromise the privacy of the occupants of Smugglers Rest through clear, elevated and close overlooking of their rear garden, which would be unacceptable.
The harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants draws the scheme into conflict with the development plan, with no other considerations outweighing this conflict.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DEV1 of the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan 2014-2034
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.
