Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of 14 and 18 Huddersfield Road, with particular regard to loss of light, privacy and disturbance

What decided it

The proposed development would cause substantial loss of light, undue harm to privacy through overlooking, and increased disturbance to the occupiers of neighbouring properties, conflicting with development plan policy and NPPF requirements for high standards of amenity.

Framework references: 130

Plan policies cited: Policy DM1 of the Rochdale Core Strategy (2016)
