Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that varying condition 2 and removing condition 3 would have on the living conditions of occupiers at 154 Grove Park, with particular regard to privacy
  • The effect that varying condition 2 and removing condition 3 would have on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed fence panel extension would not provide sufficient screening to prevent overlooking into the neighbouring garden, conflicting with Policy SE1 of the development plan which aims to ensure appropriate privacy for existing residential properties.

Plan policies cited: Policy SE1 of the Cheshire East Local Plan, Local Plan Strategy 2010-2030 (July 2017), Policy HOU10 of the Cheshire East Site Allocations Development Plan Document
