Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the raised patio upon the amenity and living conditions of the neighbours at the adjacent houses on Millwell Crescent (nos 21 and 25) with regard to the potential for overlooking and loss of privacy
What decided it
The raised patio's height and extent causes unacceptable harm to the amenity and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overlooking and loss of privacy, in conflict with development plan policy, and this harm cannot be properly mitigated by planning conditions.
