Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the residents of 13 Ashlake Road, with particular regard to noise
  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupiers, with particular regards to light

What decided it

The obscure glazed balustrade would prevent overlooking whilst allowing sufficient light through its transparency and the retention of windows and glazed door, satisfying all three main issues regarding character, neighbouring amenity, and future occupier living conditions.
