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.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV1Policy ENV3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
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.
