Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with respect to overlooking and privacy
What decided it
The raised rear garden level directly facilitates invasive overlooking of neighbouring dwellings which would not otherwise occur, resulting in significant harm to neighbours' privacy that cannot be adequately mitigated by the proposed hedge and outweighs any private benefit to the appellant.
