Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and privacy of occupiers of 23 Victoria Close, outlook of occupiers of 70 Basils Road, and outlook and light levels for occupiers of 70a Basils Road
What decided it
The two-storey element causes unacceptable harm to privacy and outlook at the neighbouring property 23 Victoria Close through significant overlooking that cannot be adequately mitigated by conditions, whereas the ground-floor element causes no such harm and its benefits outweigh limited policy conflict.
Plan policies cited: Policy GD1, Policy SP8
