Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposal upon the amenity of neighbouring occupiers with regard to overlooking
What decided it
The substantial separation distances between inter-visible windows (34.2 and 35.6 metres) and the length of the neighbouring gardens meant that only a small portion of the furthest end of the gardens would experience increased overlooking, which would not have a significantly detrimental effect on residential amenity.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV2
- 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.
