Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring property, known as Boundaries, with particular regard to privacy
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant overlooking and loss of privacy to the neighbouring property Boundaries caused by the proximity of first-floor bedroom windows at 10-11 metres from its rear garden outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.
the harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants regarding overlooking and loss of privacy outweighed the modest benefits to borough housing supply
