Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbours to the west and north, with regard to privacy, outlook and sunlight
What decided it
The significant loss of privacy to neighbours to the north through overlooking from the extended first-floor bedroom window to non-obscured windows and private outdoor spaces, which could not be adequately mitigated through obscure glazing without creating poor quality accommodation.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 9 of the Oldham Development Plan Document – Joint Core Strategy and Development Management Policies (2011)
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.
