Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal complies with the condition in sub-paragraph AA.2.(2)(b) with regards to the presence of windows in any wall forming a side elevation in the dwellinghouse
- if it does so, whether prior approval should be granted for the impact on the amenities of the occupiers of the properties at 48-56 Sidney Road (inclusive and even numbers only) regarding outlook and loss of light
What decided it
The proposal would have an unacceptably harmful impact on outlook from the gardens of the neighbouring properties at 48-56 Sidney Road, to the detriment of the amenities of their occupiers.

- Policy Q2 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035
