Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Leigham Court Estate Conservation Area
- The effect on neighbours' living conditions having regard to loss of privacy
What decided it
The development, positioned to the rear and not visible from the street scene, preserves the character and appearance of the conservation area and does not unacceptably harm neighbours' living conditions given the existing degree of overlooking inherent in the urban setting.
