Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, in particular 24 Winchelsea Lane, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The development's elevated position and close proximity to the neighbouring property created unacceptable harm to living conditions through loss of privacy and an overbearing effect on outlook that could not be adequately mitigated by conditions.
