Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of 33 St Marys Road with particular reference to privacy and outlook
  • The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of host building and the surrounding area

What decided it

The development causes significant adverse effects on the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring property through overlooking and loss of privacy, and the screening fence materially harms their outlook, contrary to development plan policies requiring high quality design and appropriate privacy and amenity.
