Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact upon the residential amenities of the occupants of 2 Claylands Farm by overlooking from the first-floor windows on the rear elevation of the proposed development
What decided it
The oblique nature of the overlooking combined with existing boundary planting mitigation and the precedent of an approved similar scheme meant the proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring residential amenities despite some conflict with the SPD guidance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SC3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 103
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
