Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring properties with regards to overlooking
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether Condition 2 restricting use and noise levels is reasonable and necessary, having regard to the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings with regard to noise
What decided it
The roof terrace provides unacceptable overlooking into neighbouring rear gardens, increasing the perception of loss of privacy for affected residents, which cannot be adequately mitigated by alternative schemes lacking sufficient detail.
