Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the variation of condition 3 to include the amended plans would be reasonable having regard to the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to light and privacy
What decided it
The fallback position of the substantially implemented planning permission, combined with the limited extent of the proposed roof alterations and their acceptable relationship with neighbouring living conditions, justified the variation of condition 3.
The benefits of allowing the minor variation to the approved scheme, supported by the fallback position of the substantially implemented permission, outweighed any concerns regarding neighbouring amenity, as the proposal would have no material adverse effect on light or privacy.
