Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary in order to protect the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 23 and 25 Church Street, having regard to privacy
What decided it
The proximity of the unobscured ground floor side window of the rear apartment to the neighbouring property's windows, combined with the residential use being more sensitive to overlooking than the previous commercial use, makes the increased boundary wall height necessary to prevent unacceptable loss of privacy.
