Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Living conditions for neighbours, with particular regard to loss of privacy

What decided it

The proposed privacy screen at 1.7m height would not adequately prevent overlooking of neighbouring habitable room windows, causing significant harmful loss of privacy that cannot be satisfactorily mitigated and conflicting with development plan policy.
