Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary, having regard to the effect of the proposed increased block heights on the living conditions of occupiers of properties on Kilburn Road with specific regard to overshadowing and loss of outlook
What decided it
The minor additional height, coupled with substantial separation distances and the absence of any unacceptable harm to amenity, meant the revised condition updating approved drawings was reasonable and necessary.
