Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of 4 Brockhampton with particular respect to privacy
What decided it
The imposition of a privacy screen condition would prevent overlooking from the master bedroom and thereby protect the privacy of neighbouring occupiers despite the separation distance falling short of the SPD guidance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D5 of the Milton Keynes Plan 2016-2031 (2019)
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.
