Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed dwelling with respect to privacy
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of 48 Elmwood Crescent with particular regard to outlook
- The effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The substantial overlooking of the proposed garden by neighbouring properties would result in poor-quality living conditions for future occupiers, which could not be outweighed by the limited housing benefits.
