Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not disputed condition 1 is necessary with regard to the privacy of the occupants of nearby properties
What decided it
The condition requiring obscure glazing is necessary to protect the privacy of occupants at the neighbouring property, as the proposed extension would create an unusually close and open inter-relationship between facing windows that is atypical of the area and would result in a loss of privacy over a sustained period.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 12 of the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010-2030
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 55Paragraph 56Paragraph 130
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.
