Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is necessary to protect the living conditions of the occupants of No. 48 Church Walk South, with regards to privacy
What decided it
The window's high placement, small scale, deep cill and limited practical sightlines mean it does not result in harmful overlooking or loss of privacy to the neighbouring property, making the condition unnecessary.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DE1
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.
