Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, having particular regard to privacy, light and outlook
  • whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, having particular regard to privacy and outlook
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The separation distances between the proposed dwelling and neighbouring properties, combined with the high-level windows and sympathetic design, demonstrated that the development would not harm neighbouring living conditions or character while providing acceptable amenity for future occupiers.
