Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that varying the disputed condition would have on the living conditions of the occupiers of adjacent properties at Manor Gardens, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The position, orientation and limited use of the window, combined with existing boundary treatments and vegetation, would prevent any significant overlooking, making the obscure glazing requirement unnecessary and unreasonable.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CP11 of the Adopted Wyre Forest District Core Strategy
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.
