Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the appeal proposal on the character and setting of The Nook, with particular regard to density, siting and layout
- the effect of the appeal proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring dwellings, with particular regard to noise, disturbance and privacy
- whether or not the appeal proposal constitutes the efficient use of land
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of the occupants of No 23 through loss of privacy caused by first floor windows imposing surveillance over the neighbouring rear garden area.
The benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of land were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to the living conditions and privacy of neighbouring occupants.
