Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupants of Levenhurst and Dawning House with particular regard to outlook
  • Whether the development is of a suitable standard of design

What decided it

The significant separation distance of 28.9 metres between the proposed side wall and the rear elevation of Levenhurst, combined with the inset position of the wall and the backdrop of the larger approved dwelling, meant that the proposal would not cause undue harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with regard to outlook.

Framework references: 130, 55, 56
