Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the neighbouring occupants of 17, 21 and 23 Rectory Grove, with regard to noise, disturbance, privacy and outlook

What decided it

The imposition of a condition requiring a 1.7m high privacy screen on the northern side elevation of the landing was sufficient to mitigate the adverse impacts on neighbouring living conditions, allowing Appeal C to succeed while the enforcement notice was upheld for the unmitigated development.
