Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect that modifying conditions 3 and 4, reducing the obscure privacy screens to a height of 1.1m would have on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties

What decided it

Reducing the obscure privacy screens from 1.7m to 1.1m would allow unrestricted views from the terrace into adjacent private rear amenity spaces, significantly harming the living conditions of neighbouring occupants.

Plan policies cited: Policy DM2, Policy DM24

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
