Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of safeguarding the living conditions of the existing and future occupiers of Mill House and The Annexe, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The condition is no longer necessary because the established garden layout, separate access arrangements, boundary screening, and oblique window relationships ensure acceptable privacy levels would be maintained if the properties were occupied independently.
