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.
