Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the amenities of the neighbouring occupiers at 4 Rock Lane Farm with particular regard to the potential for overlooking and loss of privacy
What decided it
The proposed staircase would not intrude upon the privacy of neighbours to a serious extent because its limited practical use and the oblique, distant views available from it would not materially differ from existing window views, and users would be focused on safe passage rather than observation.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BE3 of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan
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.
