- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure

- residential · Minor Dwellings
- Inspector
- Curnow R
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on living conditions of occupiers of properties to the north by reasons of outlook and privacy (Appeal A)
- Whether the condition is necessary having regard to the effect that the dormers have on the living conditions of occupiers of properties to the north by reasons of outlook and privacy (Appeal B)
What decided it
The boundary planting, particularly the evergreen hedge and protected tree, provides sufficient screening to mitigate overlooking concerns, and the window-to-window distances are acceptable, allowing the dormers to be retained subject to a landscaping condition.
