Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, privacy and amenity space
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the privacy of neighbouring occupants at 10 Lumley Road through overlooking from elevated bedroom windows, which could not be adequately mitigated by landscaping measures.
