- the effect that varying condition 2 (Approved Plans) of the Second Variation Permission would have on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The terrace and privacy screen at plot 4 were sufficiently enclosed and screened to prevent unacceptable overlooking, and the amended fenestration actually improved privacy outcomes compared to the original consent.
