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 occupiers of neighbouring properties, having particular regard to overlooking of rear gardens
What decided it
The frosted glass screening of the terrace combined with the varied character of rear elevations in the surrounding area meant the proposal would not harm character and appearance or cause unacceptable overlooking of neighbouring gardens.
