Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed roof terrace on the living conditions of neighbours with particular regard to overlooking and loss of privacy as well as noise and disturbance, and on the character of the area
What decided it
The roof terrace's elevated position at first floor level and large extent would create potential for increased noise and disturbance that would materially harm the living conditions of neighbours, which could not be adequately controlled through conditions and outweighed any design merits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 37
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
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.
