Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of 9 Second Avenue (No 9) with particular respect to privacy
  • The effect of the proposed scheme on the character and appearance of the area, including with respect to the effect on tree and hedge cover
  • Whether the proposal would promote sustainable travel with respect to the provision of on-plot parking and cycle storage

What decided it

The substantial and material harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through invasive overlooking into the rear garden of No 9 outweighs the benefits of the proposal.
