Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development upon the amenities of the neighbouring occupiers at 148 Chester Road, with particular regard to the potential for overlooking and loss of privacy.

What decided it

The proposed external flight of stairs, despite being wider than the approved version, would not intrude upon the privacy of neighbours or create a serious perception of overlooking because it would function only as a functional step without landing or seating area, and views from it would not be materially different from the approved scheme.
